Saint Joseph's Feast and the Great Table

The 2025 edition of the Saint Joseph's Feast in Marianopoli confirmed the vitality of a religious tradition deeply rooted in the village of the Province of Caltanissetta. As every year, around March 19th, women and young people from the various neighborhoods met in front of the Mother Church to set up the great Tavolata of Saint Joseph along Via Roma.

The rites followed the usual pattern: Solemn Vespers, procession of the statue from the Church of Saint Joseph to the Mother Church, Holy Mass, and blessing of the table, laden with ritual breads and traditional dishes. At the end, according to the spirit of charity of the festival, the collected food was destined for families in difficulty through the parish.
