Edition 2025 — Black Madonna - May Ascent
The 2025 edition of the May procession renewed one of Basilicata's most beloved traditions. On the first Sunday of the month, the Black Madonna of Viggiano left the Pontifical Basilica to ascend to the Sanctuary on the Sacred Mount, along the 12 kilometers of the path. Thousands of pilgrims undertook the ascent on foot, many barefoot, amidst candles, flowers, songs, and prayers, in an intense expression of collective faith that renews itself each year on the Sacred Mount.
