Copiano celebrates the Holy Cross

The Sagra di Santa Croce is the most cherished popular festival in Copiano, a municipality in the Province of Pavia. The feast is linked to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, which the liturgical calendar celebrates on September 14th, and takes place in the municipal square, the heart of town life.

A community celebration

The sagra is a gathering moment for the entire community of Copiano: moments of celebration, conviviality, and initiatives open to citizens alternate in the square. Like many festivals in the Pavia plain, this one also combines the traditional and devotional dimension with the popular one, making the village the protagonist of the day.

Focus on health and territory

In recent editions, the sagra has also hosted social initiatives, such as information stands dedicated to cancer prevention promoted by local health organizations. This shows how village festivals can combine tradition with attention to the community, becoming an opportunity not only for celebration but also for awareness.
