are you going to deliver the espada? and to whom are you going to dedicate it to? joey? abby? <g>

Faena
The matador now removes his black winged hat on the fifth trumpet and dedicates the death of the bull to the president or the crowd before beginning his faena. It is the faena which is the most beautiful and skillful section of the fight and where the matador must prove his courage and artistry.

The faena consists of a series of passes made with the muleta, a piece of thick crimson cloth draped over a short stick, which can be held in either the left hand or draped over the espada, the killing sword, which is always held in the right hand. The classic pass is called the natural in which the muleta, in left or right hand, is first held in front of the matador to site the bull and is then swung across and away from the matador's body hopefully taking the bull with it.
