On May 1st, 2025, the Cathedral of Fermo renewed the ancient tradition of the Corpora Sancta. The crypt was open from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with the large doors of the relic niches exceptionally open. At noon, Holy Mass was presided over by Archbishop Rocco Pennacchio, offering the faithful of the Archdiocese the opportunity to pause in prayer before the holy bodies.

In the May 1st, 2025 edition, the faithful of the Archdiocese of Fermo made a pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta to attend Holy Mass and pause in prayer before the relics of saints, martyrs, and blessed individuals kept in the crypt. For the occasion, the large doors of the niches containing the holy bodies, usually closed, were opened. The Cathedral was accessible from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, while the 12:00 PM Eucharistic celebration was presided over by Archbishop Msgr. Rocco Pennacchio. The day confirmed the vitality of a devotion deeply rooted in the Fermo community.
