Edition 2025 — Madonna dei Miracoli (Night Procession)

The 2025 edition of the Night Procession of the Madonna dei Miracoli took place on the night between Friday, August 29, and Saturday, August 30, 2025, departing at 3:00 AM from the Cathedral Church of Messina. The Marian statue was transferred to the Sanctuary through the historic center, accompanied by thousands of faithful with candles and torches, in an atmosphere of intense spirituality.

On the night between Friday, August 29, and Saturday, August 30, 2025, Messina once again experienced the evocative Night Procession of the Madonna dei Miracoli. At 3:00 AM, the procession departed from the Cathedral Church, accompanying the Marian statue to the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dei Miracoli.

The route crossed the ancient heart of the city: from Piazza Duomo to Piazza La Corte, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, Via Porta Castello, Piazza Umberto I, Pendio San Lorenzo, and Via Sant'Andrea, up to Via Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Piazza San Pio X. Thousands of faithful illuminated the path with candles and torches, while the silence of the night was broken only by prayers and hymns, renewing a rite of devotion that has spanned the centuries.
