In 327 days Patron saint festival
10 August 2027
Tuesday 10 August
On 10 August Aidone celebrates Saint Lawrence. But the first true feast of the year in the village is Saint Joseph's on 19 March, with its laden tables.
The patron of Aidone is Saint Lawrence and his day falls on 10 August.
The village calendar opens much earlier, though. The feast of Saint Joseph, on 19 March, is here the first true feast of the new year: as in much of Sicily it is kept with the novena and solemn masses in the small church dedicated to the saint, and with the tavolate, the Saint Joseph tables laid out for the occasion.
