Edition 2025 — Madonna dell'Udienza

The 2025 edition of the Madonna dell'Udienza Festival took place on September 3rd in Giuliana. The community renewed its devotion to the patron saint with a preparatory novena, a dawn alborata, a solemn mass, and a brass band parade. At sunset, the evocative procession accompanied the 16th-century alabaster statue through the streets of the historic center, with the participation of the faithful, concluding with a fireworks display.

On September 3rd, 2025, Giuliana celebrated its patron saint Maria SS. dell'Udienza, renewing a tradition deeply rooted in the village of the Sicani mountains.

The festivities were preceded by the solemn novena, with the recitation of the seven joys of Mary and the singing of the rosary in the Sicilian dialect. The day began at dawn with the alborata, followed by a solemn mass and a brass band parade. The most anticipated moment was the evening procession of the 19th-century float with the alabaster statue through the alleys of the center, concluded by the traditional fireworks.
