Edition 2025 — Saint Joseph in Roccapalumba

In 2025, the Saint Joseph Festival in Roccapalumba was also celebrated on March 18th and 19th, renewing the fire and sharing rituals that characterize this ancient solemnity of the Sicani Mountains. On the evening of the 18th, the village was illuminated by bonfires and torches for the procession of the Baby Jesus, while on the 19th, the Holy Family paraded through the streets to the tavulate offered to those most in need.

The 2025 edition of the Saint Joseph Festival followed the traditional calendar of March 18th and 19th in the province of Palermo. On the evening of March 18th, the districts of Roccapalumba lit up with bonfires, the large propitiatory fires, while children carried torches, the long ampelodesmos stalks, during the nocturnal procession of the statue of Saint Joseph with the Child.

On March 19th, the characters of the Holy Family paraded through the historic center to the main tavulata. The tavulate, set up in the homes of devotees with votive bread, sweets, and meatless dishes, were offered to the needy, renewing the gesture of charity that has identified the community of Roccapalumba and the hamlet of Regalgioffoli for centuries.
