About Festa dei Santi Quirico e Giulitta
The patrons of Locate Varesino
The Festa dei Santi Quirico e Giulitta is the patronal festival of Locate Varesino, a Municipality in the Province of Como. The patrons are Quirico and Giulitta, mother and son martyrs of ancient Christian tradition, to whom the town's parish church is dedicated. Their liturgical feast day falls on June 16th, the date around which the celebrations are concentrated.
Faith and community
The festival intertwines the religious dimension, with celebrations in honour of the patron saints in the parish church, with that of popular and community celebration. It is an anticipated moment that marks the calendar of Locate Varesino and renews the sense of belonging of the inhabitants, gathered around their parish and the traditions that accompany it.
An ancient devotion
The cult of Saints Quirico and Giulitta is widespread in numerous Italian communities, but in Locate Varesino, it takes on a particular value as the very identity of the parish. The patronal festival thus becomes an opportunity to rediscover the devotional roots of the town and to experience together a moment of reflection and celebration.
