Edition 2025 — Saint Joseph in Baucina

The 2025 edition of the Saint Joseph Feast in Baucina took place from Saturday, March 17th to Wednesday, March 19th, with the main day on Sunday. Featuring the re-enactment of the Flight into Egypt, the great Saint Joseph Table at the pilgrim's house, the gathering of folkloric groups, the Sfincia Festival, and the BauCibus gastronomic event, the village in the Province of Palermo renewed one of its most beloved traditions, culminating in the evening procession on March 19th with the flight of the angels.

The 2025 edition of the Saint Joseph Feast and Sfincia Festival in Baucina took place over several days, from Saturday, March 17th to Wednesday, March 19th, according to the usual local calendar.

Sunday represented the heart of the festival: after the re-enactment of the Flight into Egypt of the Holy Family, the faithful were able to visit the great Saint Joseph Table at the 'pilgrim's house', laden with fresh vegetable produce, votive breads, traditional dishes, and sweets. In the afternoon, the town center hosted the gathering of folkloric groups, followed by the traditional Sfincia Festival, dedicated to the typical sweet of the occasion, and BauCibus with local typical products. From 7:00 PM, the food from the Table was offered to those present as a sign of joy and sharing.

On the evening of Wednesday, March 19th, the solemn procession of the effigy of Saint Joseph took place through the streets of the historic center of Baucina, with the evocative flight of the angels closing the festivities.
