The patron saint's feast in Valle Spluga, on June 24th
About Saint John in Campodolcino
Saint John the Baptist, patron saint of Campodolcino
Campodolcino is a mountain municipality in the upper Valle Spluga, in the province of Sondrio, along the historic road leading to the Spluga Pass and the Swiss border. Its patron saint is Saint John the Baptist, to whom the village's parish church is dedicated.
The patron saint's feast day falls on June 24th, the date of Saint John's nativity in the liturgical calendar, and it is one of the events that mark the life of the parish community. The occasion is celebrated with a solemn Holy Mass and the moments of reflection and gathering typical of patronal feasts in Alpine villages, where the religious dimension remains intertwined with the community aspect.
The parish of Campodolcino, entrusted to the Guanellians, is also linked to the figure of Saint Luigi Guanella, originally from this valley: a further identity trait of a territory where religious tradition is an integral part of local history, in the heart of the upper Valtellina.
