Patronal Feast of Saint Apollinaris

Crosio della Valle celebrates Saint Apollinaris

The Patronal Feast of Saint Apollinaris is the most important recurrence in Crosio della Valle, a small municipality in the Province of Varese, celebrated every summer in honor of the patron saint. The feast combines the religious dimension with the popular one, involving the village community in an event of faith and tradition that is renewed year after year.

The Church of Saint Apollinaris

The heart of the feast is the parish church of Saint Apollinaris, a symbolic place of the village, subject to an important conservation and restoration work promoted by the Pro Chiesina Crosio committee, active in the recovery of frescoes and the enhancement of the building. The celebrations in honor of the patron saint mark the most solemn moments of the recurrence, attracting the faithful from the village and surrounding areas.

Tradition and Conviviality

Alongside the religious dimension, the feast offers moments of conviviality and entertainment that liven up the village, in a climate of meeting and participation typical of the patronal feasts of Lombardy. It is an opportunity for the community to come together around its roots, combining devotion to the patron saint with the pleasure of being together.

An Event for the Village

Despite being the feast of a small municipality, the recurrence of Saint Apollinaris is a living expression of the identity of Crosio della Valle and the link between the parish, the Pro Chiesina committee, and the inhabitants. An event that contributes to preserving and passing down the heritage of faith and tradition of the Varese area.
