Edition 2025 — Saint Philip the Apostle

In 2025, Aidone celebrated Saint Philip the Apostle with its usual fervor. The culmination occurred on April 30 and May 1st: the eve featured the exposition of the relics and the midnight liturgy, while Thursday, May 1st, saw the solemn Pontifical Mass, also presided over by Cardinal Baldo Reina, Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome, followed by the procession of the statue and relics through the city streets.

The 2025 edition followed the traditional calendar. On April 24, at 16:30, the community pilgrimage along the SS 288 started from the Bellia crucifix. The eve of Sunday, April 30, saw the church open in the morning with the festive ringing of bells, hourly Eucharistic celebrations, the solemn exposition of the relics at 12:00, and the liturgy presided over by the parish priest at midnight, with the sanctuary remaining open all night. On May 1st, from 06:00, celebrations followed one another every hour until the great Pontifical Mass presided over by Cardinal Baldo Reina, and at 13:00, the procession of Saint Philip the Apostle and his relics through the streets of Aidone. The closing took place on June 1st with the Night of the Sanctuaries.
