The annual Festa della Madonna del Carmine was held in Mortale last night and a good number of people were in the village to celebrate evening mass, followed by dancing and festivities in the village hall afterwards. Despite heavy rain, which cancelled the procession of the statue through the village, spirits were far from dampened as celebrations continued into the early hours.
Photos can be found in the Gallery section of this website. A film is available in the Festas on Film section.
The Festa di S. Antonio di Padova will again take place this year in just under a month’s time, on Saturday, 13th June in Mortale.
There will be a mass in the morning followed by a procession, then dancing and live music in the evening at La Soda.
Many will be gathering not just to honour our patron saint, but also to catch up with family members from all over the world, as has happened for so many years in the village.
The format doesn’t change. The people do. But the tradition lives on through the generations.
Be there if you can! Watch the video if you can’t!
Evviva Sant’ Antonio!
