Edition 2025 — Festa della Sacra Spina

In 2025, San Giovanni Bianco also celebrated the Festa della Sacra Spina on Passion Sunday, with processions, the opening of the tabernacle, and the veneration of the relic of Christ's Crown. Eve bonfires, fireworks, a funfair, and stalls accompanied the rites, drawing thousands of faithful to the Brembana Valley.

The 2025 edition of the Festa della Sacra Spina renewed in San Giovanni Bianco one of the oldest traditions of the Brembana Valley, linked to the relic of Christ's Crown kept in the village since 1495. As is customary, the festival took place on Passion Sunday, preceded by the novena.

The historical processions with flag-wavers, the solemn opening of the tabernacle, and the veneration of the Spina marked the days, accompanied by eve bonfires, fireworks, and the festive atmosphere created by the funfair and stalls. An event that annually draws thousands of faithful and visitors to the village.
