Part of the fallas festival is the offering of the flowers. The different districts and neighborhoods come to the city center in their traditional spanish dress and offer flowers to the virgin Mary. The virgin statue is made of wood and they weave the flowers to make up her dress. Over two days thousands of people parade into the plaza with their flowers lasting well into the night.
Here is the finished product. It's beautiful to see in person.

So do they burn up the virgin Mary also?
No. After the flowers wilt they put her away for next year.
