Saint Anthony and the «tree marriage» in the woods of the Pollino
📅 Every year, from 8 to 13 June, and the Consolazione on 18 August
Rotonda celebrates Saint Anthony of Padua from 8 to 13 June with the «tree marriage», the rite in which a beech tree, pulled by thirteen pairs of oxen, is joined to the top of a fir tree at the foot of the saint's statue; on 18 August the Madonna della Consolazione is celebrated instead.
