Saint Joseph Festival - Summer Patronal Celebrations

The 2025 edition of the summer Saint Joseph festivities in Ramacca, in the province of Catania, took place around the first Sunday of July, confirming the model of the patronal festival of the Etna hinterland. The program featured the solemn entry of the statue into the church with a brass band, Eucharistic celebrations, neighborhood pilgrimages, and the evocative evening procession of the statue along the streets of the historic center.

Alongside the religious moments, the festival offered musical performances, exhibitions, and cultural initiatives in Piazza Umberto, involving the entire Ramacca community in an event that combines popular devotion and Sicilian tradition. The edition concluded, as is customary, with solemn Vespers and the Saint's return to the church.
