Edition 2025 — Autari of Saint Joseph

In 2025, the Festival of the Autari of Saint Joseph once again animated Mirabella Imbaccari, in the province of Catania. Devotees set up votive altars in their homes, which were open for visits in the days leading up to the event, while on March 19th, the statue of Saint Joseph was carried in procession through the town's alleys, featuring the traditional Holy Family banquet and evening fireworks.

The 2025 edition renewed the tradition of the autari of Saint Joseph in Mirabella Imbaccari. In the days leading up to March 19th, the faithful walked through the town visiting the votive altars set up in the homes of devotees, covered in embroidered linens and adorned with oranges, laurel, flowers, and symbolic breads.

On March 19, 2025, the statue of Saint Joseph was carried in procession in the afternoon, accompanied by the Holy Family banquet and traditional dishes, from pasta with beans and wild fennel to cassatedde. The festivities concluded with the blessing of the faithful and fireworks.
