Edition 2025 — Saint Agatha Catania

In 2025, the Feast of Saint Agatha once again drew hundreds of thousands of devotees to Catania for the traditional three days of celebrations on February 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Amidst golden candelore, the offering of wax, the Dawn Mass, and the long processions of the silver fercolo through the historic center, the city renewed its centuries-old devotion to the Patron Saint, in a crescendo of faith, folklore, and popular participation that concluded with the customary fireworks.

Feast of Saint Agatha 2025

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Saint Agatha in Catania confirmed the extraordinary strength of the Agatine tradition. From the preparatory triduum at the end of January to the conclusion on February 12th, the city gathered around its Patron Saint.

On February 3rd, the procession of the wax offering took place; on February 4th, before dawn, the evocative Dawn Mass and the exit of the fercolo along the sites of the martyrdom; on February 5th, the solemn Pontifical Mass in the Cathedral and the great evening procession along Via Etnea, accompanied by the imposing candelore and concluded by the traditional fireworks. A manifestation that, even in 2025, confirmed Saint Agatha as one of the most attended religious events in the world.
