to auction the honor of carrying the Saint
Creo que son verdaderas subastas, en donde los mejores oferentes tienen el honor de llevar al santo, las andas o desempeñar otras funciones importantes dentro de la celebración.

auctioning-off of a priviledge/ donor bidding
It actually is a form of auction- itis giving the priviledge to the highest contributor. So many people want the priviledge of being the important person in these rituals that they are either officially or un oficially given to the person who donates the most.

: Yes, they are indeed auctions - and the privileges are given to the highest bidder, although when I have watched it, it has always been "official".
