About Feast of Our Lady of Consolation

The Feast of Our Lady of Consolation is the most cherished event in the Todi calendar: it celebrates Saint Mary of Consolation, venerated in the extraordinary Renaissance temple that dominates the city. Between September 5th and 8th, coinciding with the Nativity of Mary, Todi experiences days of religious celebrations, concerts of the Sacred Music Festival, a traditional fair, Renaissance games for families, and the traditional final fireworks display.

Todi's Most Beloved Feast

The Feast of Our Lady of Consolation is the main religious and civil event in Todi, in the province of Perugia. It is dedicated to Saint Mary of Consolation, whose devotion is linked to the famous Renaissance temple at the foot of the city, a 16th-century architectural masterpiece attributed to Bramante's school. The celebrations are concentrated around September 8th, the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin.

Between Faith, Music, and Tradition

For several days, the city experiences an intertwining of religious and cultural moments: the triduum of prayer and solemn masses, the Sacred Music Festival with choral and organ music concerts, the market fair along the streets of the center, Renaissance games for families organized by the Medieval Company of Todi, and cultural and literary initiatives. The feast traditionally concludes with a highly anticipated fireworks display.

An Event of Identity

Organized by ETAB La Consolazione with the Municipality of Todi and the ecclesial community, the feast represents a moment of strong identity for the people of Todi, capable of uniting the spiritual dimension with the convivial one. For visitors, it is the ideal opportunity to admire the Temple of Our Lady of Consolation at its most vibrant and discover one of Umbria's most deeply rooted traditions.
