Ferragosto August 15

Ferragosto Monte di Procida
The Catholic Church celebrates this date as a Holy
Day of Obligation to commemorate the Assumption of
the Virgin Mary—the real physical elevation of her
sinless soul and incorrupt body, into Heaven. The
town takes Mary on a precession to each of the three
churches. Followers sang and recite prayers.
Children were pulled along in wagons by pony's.
