About Long Night of Churches Jesolo
An evening of art and devotion
The Church of San Giovanni Battista, in Jesolo Paese, in the province of Venice, hosts an evening dedicated to the anniversary of the display of the 14th-century Crucifix, a precious painting of the Venetian school now preserved at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, but originally linked to the ancient Cavazuccherina (the historical name of Jesolo).
In the Long Night of Churches
The event is part of the Long Night of Churches, the national initiative promoted by the Pontifical Dicastery for Culture which every year, on a night in June, opens Italian churches to concerts, visits, and cultural moments. The Jesolo evening combines spiritual reflection with the enhancement of local artistic heritage.
The choir's music
The central moment is the choir concert, with a repertoire of sacred and popular songs accompanying the celebration. The event is organized by the Mons. Marcato Cultural Association, active in promoting the history and culture of the area.
