Edition 2025 — Saints Cosma and Damian

In 2025, Sant'Elena Sannita honored Saints Cosma and Damian on September 30th, with the dawn pilgrimage to the sanctuary, Masses throughout the day, and the afternoon procession that brought the healer saints back to the mother church of the village.

The devotion to Saints Cosma and Damian is one of the most heartfelt traditions of Sant'Elena Sannita. In the 2025 edition, the faithful set off at dawn on September 30th towards the sanctuary, about two kilometers from the village, where Masses were celebrated during the day.

In the afternoon, the procession led the healer saints back to the mother church, in a rite that combines the effort of the pilgrimage, devotion, and community, typical of the villages of inland Molise in the province of Isernia.

Programme

As tradition dictates, the 2025 program included the dawn pilgrimage to the sanctuary of Saints Cosma and Damian, Masses during the day, and the afternoon procession back to the mother church.
