Patronal Feast of Saint Catherine of Alexandria

The Patron Saint of Caselle Lurani

The Patronal Feast of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is the most heartfelt moment of the year in Caselle Lurani, a municipality in the Province of Lodi nestled in the Lodigiano countryside. The saint, one of the most venerated figures in the Catholic calendar, is celebrated on November 25th, a date that has always marked an appointment of faith and tradition for the town.

Between Faith and Community

The religious heart of the feast is the solemn mass in honor of the patron saint, traditionally attended by the Bishop of Lodi, a sign of the importance this occasion holds for the entire community. The whole town gathers around the celebrations, in an atmosphere that blends recollection and festivity.

The Fair in the Hamlets of San Pantaleo and San Michele

Alongside the religious celebrations, the feast retains its traditional fair: stalls are set up in the two historic hamlets of the town, San Pantaleo and San Michele, animating the streets with products, sweets, crafts, and the typical atmosphere of autumn village fairs. It's a way to rediscover the identity of Caselle Lurani and to experience a day of conviviality together before the arrival of winter.

An Event That Spans Generations

The Feast of Saint Catherine represents a shared heritage for Caselle Lurani, passed down from generation to generation. Between mass, procession, and fair, November 25th renews the bond between the town, its patron saint, and its agricultural roots every year, in the heart of the Lodi plain.
