TRECASTAGNI

Feast of S.S. Martiri Alfio Filadelfo Cirino
      
Seventeen centuries later, in the town of Trecastagni, there are still feasts held on May 10 each year in honor of St. Alfio, Filadelfo and Cirino. This is the most important religious event of the town. Many devotees come from all over Eastern Sicily, to honor the three Saints. At noon the statues of the three Saints are taken out of the Church and followed by the launching of fireworks and confetti and afterward they are carried in a procession through the streets of the town.
On the same day it is possible to watch a parade of traditional colorful painted Sicilian carriages and to buy typical Sicilian products in an open market.
