Waldensian Bonfire Night (February 17th)

The 2025 edition of the Waldensian Bonfire Night followed the established ritual of the Waldensian Festival of Freedom. On the evening of February 16th, the torchlight procession left from the Waldensian Kindergarten toward Stallè, where the official bonfire, coordinated by the Waldensian Churches of Angrogna and Luserna San Giovanni, was lit; numerous other fires were lit by families and citizens on the hillside hamlets on the orographic left of the Pellice.

On February 17th, the community gathered for worship in the temple and for the community lunch, in a day of civil and religious memory that has renewed the remembrance of the rights granted to the Waldensians in 1848 for generations.
