Feast of San Vito in Partanna
The Feast of the Patron Saint San Vito Martire in Partanna is an event deeply felt and attended by the population. The cult for Sa Vito Martire is very ancient: it was the Grifeo family who brought the relics of the Saint to Partanna at the end of the fifteenth century.
The celebrations begin with the transfer of the Simulacrum of the Saint and the Relics from the Mother Church to the Church of San Biagio.
One of the most awaited moments of the festival is the great historic procession of San Vito made up of figures with period clothes, musicians, drums, trumpets, flag-wavers who will cross the streets main attractions of the city.
During the celebrations, the deed of entrustment of the city to San Vito takes place: the Mayor, looking out from the balcony of the Palazzo Comunale, will recite the deed of entrustment and give the keys to the city to the Patron Saint.
The culminating moment of the celebrations is the solemn procession with the relics and the simulacrum of the Patron Saint through the streets of the historic centre.
