About Saint Roch Ripabottoni
Saint Roch, August Festival in Ripabottoni
The Festival of Saint Roch is one of the most cherished events in the calendar of Ripabottoni (CB), a small village in Basso Molise. It is celebrated on August 16th, the saint's liturgical day, and is part of the rich program of events that enlivens the town during August.
Between Faith and Celebration
The central moment is the procession with the saint's statue through the streets of the historic center, accompanied by the faithful.
