About Saint Roch in Ravellino
Saint Roch in Ravellino
In the hamlet of Ravellino, in the municipality of Colle Brianza in the province of Lecco, the Saint Roch Festival is the most important summer event. It takes place around August 16th, the day of the saint invoked against epidemics and diseases, and extends for about a week straddling Ferragosto, blending religious and convivial dimensions.
A Week of Celebrations
The schedule alternates between religious services and festive moments: the evening procession to the chapel with the blessing of the fields, the Ferragosto mass with the blessing of vehicles and the release of balloons, the Saint Roch day with the distribution of blessed bread and the traditional blessing of domestic animals, and the solemn afternoon mass with procession. The week concludes with a mass in suffrage of the deceased.
Music and Good Food
Alongside the religious rites, the evenings are enlivened by live music and orchestras, with bar and restaurant service offering typical local specialties. It is a time when the community of Ravellino comes together, between prayer and merriment.
A Community Festival
The festival is organized by the Real PST Brianza association in collaboration with the parish and the Municipality of Colle Brianza. More than just a patronal feast, it is a gathering event that keeps alive the traditions of a small hamlet in the Lecco Brianza region.
