The patron saint of Lenna, at the Sanctuary of the Cultur
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 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.
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.
The 2026 edition of Lenna's patronal feast is scheduled for Sunday, September 6, the first Sunday of the month. The day follows tradition: religious services at the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows and a solemn procession through the town.
The detailed program will be announced by the parish in the preceding weeks.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published by the parish of Lenna. Based on tradition, the patronal day includes:
