Edition 2025 — Holy Cross Feast

The 2025 edition of the Votive Feast of the Holy Cross renewed, as every year, Bagnone's ancient devotion to its patron saint. The preparatory triduum of prayer led to the solemnity on May 3rd, with the Pontifical Mass at the Prepositural Church of San Nicolò, the procession through the village, and the final blessing with the Relic of the Cross, in memory of the cholera epidemic of 1854-55.

In 2025, the community of Bagnone gathered once again around the Holy Cross to renew its secular vow. The preparatory triduum, with the Rosary, Vespers, and Holy Masses, preceded the solemnity of May 3rd. In the afternoon, a Pontifical Mass was celebrated at the Prepositural Church of San Nicolò, followed by a procession through the streets of the historic center and the blessing with the ancient Relic of the Cross. Municipal authorities, volunteer associations, and the citizenry took part in the celebration, an event that confirms the Holy Cross as the heart of Bagnone's identity in Lunigiana.
