Patron saint festival In 173 days
Saint Reparata, patron between the Easter Octave and the faugni bonfires
📅 Every year, 8 days after Easter; quite different is the faugni tradition, bonfires on 8 December
Atri celebrates Saint Reparata of Caesarea in Palestine eight days after Easter, in the church dedicated to her. Quite different is the faugni tradition: at dawn on 8 December, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, tall bundles of reeds tied with plant cords are lit and carried in procession through the town.
