Saint Erasmus Patronal Feast

The 2025 edition of the Saint Erasmus Patronal Feast took place in Capaci, in the province of Palermo, following the established tradition that has accompanied the community's devotion to its patron saint for centuries.

As per custom, the day of celebration alternated between sacred and popular moments: the morning drum parade with drummers through the town streets, the passage of Sicilian carts pulled by richly caparisoned horses in the afternoon, the solemn mass in the Mother Church, and the procession of the wooden statue of Saint Erasmus, created by the Gagini workshop. A festival that, even in 2025, confirmed the strong identity bond between Capaci and its patron saint, recognized by the Registry of Intangible Heritage of Sicily.
