Feast of Our Lady of the Rock
The patronal feast of Vobarno, in Valle Sabbia
About Our Lady of the Rock
The Protector of Vobarno
The Feast of Our Lady of the Rock is the patronal feast of Vobarno, a municipality in Valle Sabbia in the province of Brescia. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rock, venerated as the guardian and protector of the town.
A Sanctuary Linked to a War Vow
The Rocca is a small church located in the mountains above Vobarno. The devotion dates back to the war years, when the citizens made a vow to the Virgin Mary: in 2025, the community celebrated the 80th anniversary of Our Lady of the Rock, a testament to a vibrant and deeply felt tradition.
Between Spirituality and Village Festival
The heart of the celebration is the solemn mass at the sanctuary, followed by a procession through the historic streets of the village. The more convivial moments unfold around the religious celebration: food stalls offering typical local dishes, desserts, and wines, and opportunities for community gatherings. The feast, organized by the parish and the oratory of Vobarno, combines faith, age-old traditions, and social life in the setting of the Valle Sabbia in Brescia.
