Edition 2025 — Saint Nicholas in Bonefro
The 2025 edition of the feast of Saint Nicholas in Bonefro confirmed the village's deep devotion to its patron saint. The religious program, centered around May 9th, included a three-day preparation with the Midday Prayer, masses celebrated by Pallottine priests, and the solemn mass presided over by the new bishop of Termoli-Larino, Msgr. Claudio Palumbo. The procession wound through the village streets until the effigy returned to the church dedicated to Saint Nicholas, where the traditional blessed panettelle were distributed.
Musical entertainment was provided by the parish choir and the M. Aster musical band conducted by Luigi Marcangione of Larino, with a concert by the Italy Band Tour and fireworks to conclude. Attendance was high despite difficult weather conditions.
