Tavuliata di San Giuseppe

The May 1st, 2025 edition of the Tavuliata di San Giuseppe confirmed the vitality of a tradition in Leni that dates back to the late 19th century. The community of the island of Salina gathered for Holy Mass in the church of St. Joseph and for the offertory of the dishes brought to the altar. In the afternoon, the procession passed through the village before the setting of the table in front of the Town Hall, where the twelve children reenacted the Apostles beside the Holy Family. The pasta and chickpeas, cooked in copper quadare, and Aeolian sweets enlivened the communal lunch, while fireworks closed the day.
