About Madonna a Lungo
The Easter Monday of the people of Termoli
The pilgrimage to Madonna a Lungo is one of the most heartfelt traditions of Termoli, in the province of Campobasso. On Easter Tuesday, the faithful reach the Sanctuary of Madonna a Lungo, dedicated to Saint Mary of Victory, located along the road connecting Termoli to San Giacomo degli Schiavoni, on foot.
A journey of faith
The pilgrimage begins early in the morning from the church of Madonna delle Grazie and winds through the countryside to the sanctuary, where Mass is celebrated throughout the day. It is a moment that combines the religious and popular dimensions: Easter Monday in Termoli is experienced this way, between prayer, walking, and conviviality.
A rooted cult
Devotion to Madonna a Lungo is rooted in the city's history and the community's connection to this place of worship. The pilgrimage renews a tradition that spans generations each year, confirming itself as an identity-defining event for the people of Termoli and the faithful of the Molise coast.
