Edition 2025 — Feast of the Holy Crucifix

In 2025, Isnello once again celebrated the Feast of the Most Holy Crucifix on May 1st, with the customary procession of the Christ of Santa Maria Maggiore carried on the shoulders of the Assunta confraternity members, barefoot and dressed in white. The day featured the performance of sacred frottole, the tour of the Francesco Bajardi Band, and the parade of the varicedda adorned with fava beans and wheat stalks, renewing the ancient devotion of the Madonie village.
