Edition 2025 — Vejano Soup Festival

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Sant'Orsio took place in Vejano on January 28th and 29th, following the centuries-old tradition of the Tuscia village. On the evening of the 28th, after mass, the bread and wine soup blessed by the priest was distributed to the faithful on the steps of the Madonna del Suffragio; on the 29th, the patron saint's day, solemn masses and the procession with the saint's relic were held.

On January 28th and 29th, 2025, Vejano renewed the feast in honor of its patron saint, Sant'Orsio, one of the most cherished events in the Viterbo province calendar. The celebration of the patron saint, confirmed for January 29th, 2025, followed the traditional program: on the afternoon of the 28th, the display of the relic and holy mass in the Madonna del Suffragio church, followed by the blessing and free distribution of the bread and wine soup on the church steps, a gesture that recalls the thirst suffered by the pilgrim saint during his years of atonement.

On the patron saint's day, January 29th, the village experienced solemn masses, the procession carrying the relic through the historic center streets, and the concluding fireworks display. A free and well-attended event, it is an authentic expression of the Vejano community's identity and the popular tradition of the Tuscia region.
