The festival of the patron saints of Olgiate Comasco, on August 13th
The parish church of Olgiate Comasco, in the province of Como, is dedicated to Saints Hippolytus and Cassian, martyrs and patron saints of the community. The martyrdom of both is linked to the date of August 13th, the day on which the parish solemnly celebrates the patronal feast.
The heart of the day is the solemn Mass in honour of the patron saints, a moment of strong participation for the community of Olgiate. The convivial dimension is alongside the religious one, with a large community lunch in the square that brings together families, the elderly, and young people around the same table, in a festive and sharing atmosphere.
Celebrated in the middle of August, the patronal feast of Saints Hippolytus and Cassian is one of the most keenly felt events of the summer in Olgiate Comasco. An opportunity to rediscover the religious roots of the town and to experience a moment of community together, in the heart of the Como area of Olgiate.
