Edition 2025 — San Filippo d'Agira

In 2025, Limina once again celebrated its patron saint, San Filippo d'Agira, with traditional May rites: on the 11th, the race of the statue toward Passo Murazzo; on the 12th, the return to the Mother Church; and during the Octave, the re-enactment of the miracles with the chasing away of the devils and the racing of the float toward the Calvary and the Durbi district. The solemn procession, with the statue carried on the shoulders of the faithful amidst hymns and prayers, confirmed the deep roots of this popular devotion in the Peloritani village.

The 2025 edition of the Feast of San Filippo d'Agira in Limina (province of Messina) followed the usual calendar. On May 11th, the Black Saint was carried in procession and raced to the Sanctuary of Passo Murazzo; on May 12th, the solemn return to the Mother Church of San Sebastiano Martire was celebrated.

The Octave, on the third Sunday of May, featured the solemn Holy Mass, the procession through the village streets, and the evocative re-enactment of the miracles, with the float carried at a run toward the Calvary and the Durbi district. The day concluded with fireworks, sealing one of the most heartfelt patronal feasts in the Messina hinterland.
