About Feast of Saint Ambrose
Saint Ambrose, Patron Saint of Milan
The Patronal Feast of Saint Ambrose in Baranzate celebrates the patron saint of Baranzate and the entire Milanese diocese. The anniversary falls on the fixed date of December 7th, the day when Milan and the municipalities in its hinterland honor Saint Ambrose, a central figure in Lombard religious tradition.
Between Solemn Mass and Christmas Atmosphere
The heart of the feast is the solemn Mass in honor of Saint Ambrose at the parish church of Sant'Arialdo, on Via Merano, with the participation of civil authorities and local associations, followed by a procession with the saint's statue through the main streets. The date, close to the Immaculate Conception, immerses the feast in a pre-Christmas atmosphere.
Markets, Charity, and Conviviality
The popular part unfolds around the celebrations, with craft and Christmas markets, charity stands, entertainment for children, distribution of mulled wine, hot chocolate, and traditional sweets. A feast that combines spirituality, remembrance, and conviviality in a municipality in the Milan metropolitan area.
