Festival of the Madonna delle Grazie (Maria SS. delle Grazie)

The 2025 edition of the festival of the co-patron of San Marzano di San Giuseppe took on a special value, falling within the Jubilee Year: the rock sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie was in fact proclaimed a Jubilee church. The two days of July 1st and 2nd followed the traditional pattern of processions, pilgrimage, and celebrations, with the Armonia band accompanying the parades. The solemn mass on July 2nd was presided over by Monsignor Angelo Massafra, while the evenings alternated between music and devotion, from the Queen tribute concert to the final fireworks.
