Feast of Saint Agatha
The patron saint of Castelpizzuto on February 5th
About Saint Agatha
Saint Agatha, patron saint of Castelpizzuto
On February 5th, the village of Castelpizzuto, in the province of Isernia, celebrates its patron saint, Saint Agatha. This is the most heartfelt religious event of the year for this very small municipality in the Molise Matese region, which has just over a hundred inhabitants.
A Community Festival
The day, in the heart of winter, is marked by the solemn mass and the procession with the statue of the saint through the village streets. Despite the small size of the village, the festival maintains a strong sense of identity and cohesion, also attracting those who have emigrated and return for the occasion.
Castelpizzuto, sentinel of the Matese
Perched at the foot of the Matese massif, Castelpizzuto is one of the least populated municipalities in Molise. For this reason, its religious festivals—from Saint Agatha to Saint Dominic the Abbot, from Saint Anne to Saint Lucia—represent key moments in the community calendar, carefully preserved by the parish and the inhabitants.
