Edition 2025 — Madonna delle Grazie Artena

In 2025, the Madonna delle Grazie Festival in Artena took place from May 16 to 25, with the solemn Procession of the Cristi Infiorati on the afternoon of Saturday, May 17. The confraternities accompanied the Virgin's effigy from the Church of Santa Maria delle Letizie to the Church of Santa Croce, amidst popular devotion and the characteristic flower-covered Christs.

The 2025 edition once again renewed the centuries-old tradition of Artena. The main procession on May 17 departed in the afternoon from the Church of Santa Maria delle Letizie, crossing the historic center with stops in the village squares before reaching the Church of Santa Croce in the evening. The absolute protagonists were the Cristi Infiorati, carried on shoulders along a route of over four kilometers made of climbs, descents, and narrow passages. Among the side events was the «Regina Pacis» concert on Friday, May 22. The celebrations concluded the following Sunday with the return procession of the image to its sanctuary, confirming the vitality of a rite that has been passed down uninterrupted in Artena, in the province of Rome, since 1731.
