Procession Santi Medici In Bitonto

Procession Santi Medici In Bitonto

Faithful with large candles, a sign of the grace received from the Holy Doctors, in front of the Basilica of Saints Doctors Cosmas and Damian, in Bitonto on Oct. 15, 2023. Every year the city of Bitonto celebrates Sts. Cosmas and Damian twice. The first time coincides with the Latin liturgical solemnity on September 26. Already in the preceding days, the faithful participate in liturgical and Eucharistic celebrations with hymns, songs, prayers, and assiduous participation in the Novena. The second feast, referred to as the 'external' feast, occurs on the third Sunday in October, set on that date by decree of the Episcopal Curia in 1733 to allow the rural population to complete activities related to the wine campaign. The external feast is based on the event of the procession, the traditional 'intorciata,' with its forms of 'direct worship' and the characteristic gait of the faithful, provided with large candles, barefoot (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
