Edition 2025 — Saint Anthony Abbot in Castelnuovo di Farfa

In 2025, Castelnuovo di Farfa once again celebrated Saint Anthony Abbot on January 17th, renewing the Sabina region's devotion to the protector of animals and the farming world, with the blessing of animals and agricultural machinery and religious services in the village.

2025 Edition

On January 17, 2025, the village of Castelnuovo di Farfa, in the province of Rieti, renewed the Feast of Saint Anthony Abbot according to the Sabina tradition. The day combined the religious dimension—with Mass and a procession dedicated to the hermit saint, protector of animals—with the popular tradition of blessing animals and agricultural machinery, a moment when the community gathers around its rural roots.
