Patron saint festival In 200 days
The Most Holy Crucifix, patron of the septennial «Calata»
📅 Every year, on 3 May, preceded by nine days of prayer, the «Nuvena»; every seven years a special feast from 30 April
Cutro celebrates the Most Holy Crucifix, the town's patron, on 3 May, preceded by nine days of prayer, the so-called «Nuvena», with litanies in the Cutro dialect. Every seven years, a special feast is held lasting from 30 April to 3 May: on the evening of 29 April, the «Calata» takes place, during which the Crucifix is moved from the altar and hoisted up, symbolically recalling the martyrdom scene on Golgotha.
