Artwork description

Parece ser que la cencerrada conmemora los sucesos de 1539 en Tolox, cuya mecha prendió de un enfrentamiento entre dos mujeres; una mora y otra cristiana, al discutir por el turno de la colocación de los dulces y el pan. El dueño de la tahona escogió a la cristiana. La morisca lanzó amenazante: "No te lo comerás con todo tu gusto". Esta frase alertó a los cristianos que organizaron un plan para contrarrestar la rebelión morisca que tuvo lugar en fechas cercanas a Navidad.
Los cristianos huyeron hacia el castillo de Alozaina la noche anterior al ataque, reunidos en la Iglesia planearon dejar las luces de sus casas encendidas para aparentar normalidad.
