About Our Lady of Sorrows Lenna

In Lenna, a municipality in the Brembana Valley in the province of Bergamo, the first Sunday of September is dedicated to Maria Santissima Addolorata, the patron saint of the town. The celebrations culminate at the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows, known as the Sanctuary of the Cultur, with a solemn procession that renews an ancient Marian devotion.

Lenna and Our Lady of Sorrows

At the entrance to the upper Brembana Valley, in the Province of Bergamo, the Municipality of Lenna dedicates its patronal feast to Maria Santissima Addolorata. Devotion is centered around the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows, known as the Sanctuary of the Cultur, one of the most significant Marian places of worship in the valley, a destination for pilgrimages and the heart of local religious life.

The feast on the first Sunday of September

The patronal feast is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. The celebrations culminate in a solemn procession that starts from the sanctuary and winds through the town, accompanied by religious services and prayers dedicated to the Virgin of Sorrows. It is the most cherished moment of the year for the community of Lenna, which gathers around its sanctuary.

A place of devotion in the Brembana Valley

The Sanctuary of the Cultur also hosts initiatives that attest to its vitality: in recent years, for example, a life-size reproduction of the Shroud of Turin has been exhibited there. The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is thus part of a living tradition that links Lenna to a heritage of faith and history deeply rooted in the Brembana territory.
