About Fiera autunnale del Santuario
The autumn fair of the Sanctuary
The Fiera del Santuario dell'Addolorata is the second annual fair linked to the famous Sanctuary of Castelpetroso, a municipality in the province of Isernia. It takes place on the fourth Sunday of September, coinciding with the autumn recurrence of the Addolorata, and complements the major spring event of the anniversary of the Apparitions on March 22nd.
Pilgrimage and tradition
The day combines pilgrimage and religious celebrations at the Sanctuary with the traditional fair stalls, a meeting point for devotees and visitors who reach Castelpetroso from all over Molise. It is an event that intertwines devotion and popular tradition in the heart of autumn.
The Sanctuary of the Addolorata
