Ceprano. Procession of St. Rocco

On 16th August, in Ceprano there is the procession of San Rocco in which troops of women carry the Holy baskets full of bread and offer the tasty "Cantamesse".

San Rocco protects lepers and his history is linked to that of a dog that brought food each day, some bread.

This is why, during the festival, the devotees continue to bring bread to the saint.
