Sant’Alessandro celebrations in Bergamo

Overview

The city and diocese of Bergamo are holding various religious and cultural festivities to honor their patron saint, Sant’Alessandro. Initial celebrations in Bergamo included a bell concert, a prayerful walk to the Cathedral in Bergamo Alta, and a Mass led by Bishop Francesco Beschi, alongside broader provincial events like the International Folklore Festival.

In the community of Comenduno, celebrations for the feast continue through September 6. These festivities feature liturgical services, puppet shows, a traditional procession accompanied by the Corpo musicale Città di Albino, and a fireworks display. The events honor the historical tradition of Sant'Alessandro, a soldier of the Theban Legion believed to have been martyred in the Bergamo territory.

Recent developments include a two-week program in Bergamo titled “Custodire la comunità nella concordia”. This initiative features art exhibitions, historical tours, markets, and religious ceremonies designed to celebrate the saint's legacy.
