Patron saint festival In 297 days
Saint Cyprian and the arboreal wedding of the Maggio and the Cima
📅 Every year, from 10 to 12 August, with the Maggio rite
Oliveto Lucano celebrates Saint Cyprian from 10 to 12 August; woven into its patronal feast is the Maggio, an ancient tree rite of pagan origin in which the trunk of a Turkey oak, the groom, is grafted with the top of a holly tree, the bride, and both are erected together in the town square.
