About S. Maria della Mercede (Guasto)
The Devotion of Guasto
The Feast of Saint Mary of Mercy is one of the most cherished events in the Guasto hamlet of Castelpetroso, a municipality in the province of Isernia known for the Sanctuary of the Addolorata. The feast is traditionally celebrated on the second Sunday of August, in the heart of summer.
Rites and Tradition
The celebrations combine religious rites in honour of Saint Mary of Mercy with the community aspect of a village feast, including a procession and moments of conviviality. During the same period, the hamlet also celebrates Saint Mary Magdalene, testifying to the rich popular devotion of this small Molise village.
Guasto and Castelpetroso
Visiting Guasto means discovering an authentic corner of the hinterland of the province of Isernia, a stone's throw from the Sanctuary of the Addolorata, in a hilly landscape that preserves ancient religious traditions.
