About Festa Patronale dell'Assunta

Every year, around August 15th, Arre celebrates its patron saint, Maria Santissima Assunta, with the patronal festival linked to the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Piazza Arzenton. It is the most cherished event of the summer for the small community of the Bassa Padovana: between the solemn Holy Mass on the day of the Assumption, popular devotion, and moments of celebration around the parish, the recurrence intertwines faith and tradition in the heart of the Conselvano area.

The Patron Saint of Arre

The Festa Patronale di Maria SS. Assunta is the most important event in the religious calendar of Arre, a municipality in the Bassa Padovana area in the province of Padova, in the Conselvano region. The patron saint of the town is indeed Maria Santissima Assunta, to whom the parish church in Piazza Arzenton, the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, is dedicated.

Ferragosto between faith and community

The festival takes place around August 15th, the day of the Assumption of Mary, one of the most cherished Marian solemnities in Italian Catholic tradition. The central moment is the solemn Holy Mass celebrated in the parish church, around which the community of Arre gathers to honour its patron saint. The recurrence is an occasion for popular devotion but also for the town to come together, strengthening bonds around the parish in the heart of the Venetian summer.

A Tradition of Rural Veneto

As in many towns in the Padovano area, the patronal festival marks a fixed and identifying event for Arre, where religious roots merge with the community dimension. It is an opportunity to discover the authenticity of a village in the Venetian plain, where the traditions of Ferragosto and Marian devotion continue to mark the life of the town.
