The Holy Crucifix, a patron born from the 1508 plague
📅 Every year, on Shrove Tuesday, in memory of the 1508 plague
Rovellasca celebrates the Holy Crucifix every Shrove Tuesday. It is said that in 1508 a terrible epidemic struck the small village: the praying community carried the cross from the high altar in procession, and the plague ceased. Ever since, the faithful celebrate for three days, carrying the crucifix through the town's streets.
