Concert and celebration of the 14th-century Crucifix in the Long Night of the Churches
The Church of San Giovanni Battista, in Jesolo Paese, in the province of Venice, hosts an evening dedicated to the anniversary of the display of the 14th-century Crucifix, a precious painting of the Venetian school now preserved at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, but originally linked to ancient Cavazuccherina (the historical name of Jesolo).
The event is part of the Long Night of the Churches, the national initiative promoted by the Pontifical Dicastery for Culture which every year, on a June night, opens Italian churches for concerts, visits, and cultural moments. The Jesolo evening combines spiritual reflection with the enhancement of local artistic heritage.
The central moment is the choir concert, with a repertoire of sacred and popular songs accompanying the celebration. The event is organized by the Associazione Culturale mons. Marcato, active in promoting the history and culture of the area.
The 2026 edition takes place on Friday, June 5, at 9:00 PM in the Church of San Giovanni Battista in Jesolo, celebrating the anniversary of the display of the 14th-century Crucifix. The evening is part of the eleventh edition of the Long Night of the Churches, dedicated to the theme of community and the Franciscan Centenary, on the eighth centenary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi.
The central moment is the choir concert, with a repertoire of sacred and popular songs. The event is organized by the Associazione Culturale mons. Marcato, with the deep connection between the Jesolo community and its artistic and devotional heritage.
The Church of San Giovanni Battista is located in Jesolo Paese, inland from the Lido, reachable by car from the A4 (Noventa di Piave exit) and by bus from Venice Mestre.
The evening takes place in June, in the evening, as part of the Long Night of the Churches.
