Feast of San Giuseppe in Ramacca
The feast of San Giuseppe in Ramacca is particularly felt as the Holy Patriarch is also the Patron Saint of the city. The Feast of San Giuseppe in Ramacca is celebrated in the month of March, on the occasion of the liturgical anniversary, and in the month of July when the great Patronal feast takes place.
The celebrations on the occasion of the solemnity of San Giuseppe take place on 18 and 19 March and it is traditional to set up the altars of St. Joseph. On the evening of March 18 it is tradition to visit the altars set up in the homes of devotees. Day 19 a large altar is set up in the main square of the city and the traditional pasta cu maccu is offered to all those present.
The great patronal festival for the Patron Saint takes place in the summer period, in July, and includes a busy calendar of religious events, which culminate with a solemn procession through the streets of the centre, and of recreational and cultural events.
