Religious festivals France

Each season, pilgrims are invited to meditate on a particular theme. The season will also be punctuated by the French National Pilgrimage around August 15, as well as those of the Order of Malta and the Rosary, and by national gatherings of the faithful from all over the world. To find out more, consult the calendar and program published each year, and don't forget the torchlight procession that takes place every evening throughout the period.

On August 15th, to pay homage to the Holy Virgin, in Nonza, but also in many Corsican villages and even in town, the inhabitants have the tradition of lighting their windows and doors with candles. In addition, there is a procession with lanterns behind the statue of the Virgin carried by men through the village before returning to the church of Sainte-Julie de Nonza or elsewhere for the processions of other villages. It is always a magical sight to see the small flickering and moving flames that animate the streets.
