About Saint Anthony and St. Mary of the Angels
A summer festival in Sessano del Molise
Among the religious events in Sessano del Molise, a village in Alto Molise in the province of Isernia, the festival dedicated to Saint Anthony and Saint Mary of the Angels is celebrated on August 2nd. It is one of the events that animate the village's summer, a few days before the patronal feast of San Donato on August 7th.
The Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli
The festival is linked to the small Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, one of the historic sacred buildings of the municipality, built in 1606. The community gathers around this devotion for religious services, in a village that retains a slow pace and unspoiled nature, typical of the Molise hinterland.
