About Feast of Our Lady of Monte Berico
The Patron Saint of Creazzo and the Vicenza Area
Our Lady of Monte Berico is the patron saint of Creazzo, a municipality on the outskirts of Vicenza, and the entire Vicenza province. Her feast day, September 8th, coincides with the Nativity of Mary and is one of the most heartfelt moments of devotion, linked to the Sanctuary of Monte Berico which overlooks Vicenza from the top of the hill.
A Devotion of Ancient Origins
Tradition recounts the apparitions of the Virgin to Vincenza Pasini on Colle Berico in 1426 and 1428, during a plague epidemic. Since then, the Sanctuary of Monte Berico has been a pilgrimage destination for the entire Vicenza area, and Creazzo shares in this devotion as its patron saint.
The Marian Jubilee Year of 2026
2026 holds special significance: it falls within the Marian Jubilee Year proclaimed for the 600th anniversary of the Monte Berico apparitions, with celebrations involving the Sanctuary, the diocese, the Municipality, and the Veneto Region. Creazzo's patronal feast is part of this journey of faith that unites the entire province of Vicenza.
