Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
In November, the people of Calimera celebrate San Brizio, their patron saint, in a more intimate and subdued festival compared to the summer celebrations. The solemnity coincides with the saint's liturgical feast day. The main church is adorned for the occasion, and the celebrations culminate in an afternoon procession accompanied by fireworks. A pyrotechnic display salutes the passage of the saint near the sports field. The municipal band marks the moments of the day with music, making the festival a deeply spiritual event for the entire community.
Original text in Italian
A novembre i calimeresi celebrano San Brizio, il loro patrono, in una festa più raccolta e intima rispetto alle celebrazioni estive. La solennità coincide con il giorno della festa liturgica del santo. La chiesa madre si veste a festa e le celebrazioni culminano nella processione pomeridiana, accompagnata da fuochi d'artificio. Una batteria pirotecnica saluta il passaggio del santo all'altezza del campo sportivo. La banda municipale scandisce i momenti della giornata con la musica, rendendo la festa un evento di profonda spiritualità per tutta la comunità.
