Veroli. Feast of Madonna dell'Olivella

The feast of Madonna dell'Olivella celebrates the discovery of the rock icon with the sacred image of the Madonna.

At the point, the sanctuary of Madonna dell'Olivella was built in Veroli.

It takes place on Saturday after Easter with a mass at 7 pm and a very suggestive procession along the path that leads to the village. The street is lit by bonfires with the branches of the olives pruning.

A clear reference to when these processions were lit only with torches and bonfires.
