Sepino celebrates its patron on 23 and 24 July, together with Bolsena, its twin town. But the feast felt most deeply falls in January, and recalls the arrival of the relics in 1099.

The patron of Sepino is Saint Christina, and the town celebrates her twice. On 23 and 24 July it remembers her death — she was persecuted at the beginning of the fourth century — and the same days are a feast in Bolsena, the town twinned with Sepino.

The occasion felt most deeply, though, falls in winter: 8, 9 and 10 January, for the anniversary of the arrival of the saint's relics, in the year 1099.

On 25 July, for more than a hundred years, Sepino has also held the first Emigrant's Feast in all Molise. And on New Year's night the bufù are played, home-made instruments built out of wooden barrels.
