Sagra Patronale della Madonna di Monte Berico
The patronal festival of Creazzo on September 8th
About Sagra della Madonna di Monte Berico
The patron saint of Creazzo and the Vicenza area
The Madonna di Monte Berico is the patron saint of Creazzo, a municipality on the outskirts of Vicenza, and of the entire Vicenza territory. Her feast day, on September 8th, coincides with the Nativity of Mary and is one of the most heartfelt moments of devotion, linked to the Sanctuary of Monte Berico which overlooks Vicenza from the top of the hill.
Devotion with ancient origins
Tradition recounts the apparitions of the Virgin to Vincenza Pasini on Colle Berico in 1426 and 1428, during a plague epidemic. Since then, the Sanctuary of Monte Berico has been a pilgrimage destination for the entire Vicenza area, and Creazzo shares in this devotion as its patron saint.
The Marian Jubilee Year of 2026
2026 holds special significance: it falls within the Marian Jubilee Year proclaimed for the 600th anniversary of the apparitions at Monte Berico, with celebrations involving the Sanctuary, the diocese, the Municipality, and the Veneto Region. The patronal festival of Creazzo is part of this journey of faith that unites the entire province of Vicenza.
