Edition 2025 — San Sebastiano Floridia

In 2025, Floridia celebrated the San Sebastiano Festival according to the usual tradition: on January 20th, the main celebration with the unveiling of the statue, the invocations of the 'nudi', and the procession through the center, and on May 3rd, the spring unveiling in the evening. The Confraternita Gesù e Maria coordinated the festivities, renewing a devotion that the Floridia community, in the province of Syracuse, has cultivated for centuries.

The 2025 edition of the San Sebastiano Festival in Floridia followed the traditional calendar. On January 20th, the main celebration took place: after the preparation triduum and the solemn holy mass, the statue of the Glorious 'Bimartire' went out in procession from the Church of Sant'Antonio di Padova, traveling through the streets of Floridia's center accompanied by the 'nudi', congregations, and the faithful, returning in the evening amidst fireworks.

On May 3rd, 2025, the spring unveiling was held in the evening, as is customary. In 2025, the organization was again handled by the Confraternita Gesù e Maria, guardian of the devotional tradition of the town in the province of Syracuse, Sicily.
