Patronal Feast of Saint Blaise and Saint Margaret

2025 Patronal Feast in Cappadocia

In 2025, the municipality of Cappadocia (AQ), in Abruzzo, once again honored its patrons Saint Blaise and Saint Margaret on February 3rd, according to a tradition rooted in the Middle Ages. The Solemn Holy Mass in the parish church dedicated to the two saints represented the central moment of the day, followed by the characteristic blessing of the throat. The anniversary confirmed its role as an identity-defining event for the small mountain community and its hamlets, in an area marked by depopulation but still tied to its religious traditions.
