About Madonna del Rosario
The patron saint of Ceppagna
The hamlet of Ceppagna, in Venafro (province of Isernia), dedicates its patronal festival to the Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, protector of the village. The celebration, organized by the parish of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary together with a Festival Committee and with the support of the Municipality of Venafro, takes place on the first Sunday of October and lasts for three days.
Religious rites and procession
The heart of the festival are the religious rites in the church of the Most Holy Rosary and the solemn procession with the statue of the Madonna del Rosario through the streets of Ceppagna. A festival of belonging that renews the community's bond with its territory and with traditions, culture, and popular music of the bands, considered heritage of small villages.
The civil evenings
Alongside devotion, the civil part is full of entertainment: live music with bands playing hits from the '70s, '80s, and '90s, comedians from television programs, dancing evenings, entertainment for children with inflatables and Disney characters, food stalls. The Ceppagna festival traditionally closes the calendar of annual popular festivals in the Venafro area.
