The Kiss of the Madonnas

In the enchanting setting of Monte Asprano, between the villages of Castrocielo and Colle San Magno, "The Kiss of the Madonnas" is renewed every year on Easter Monday, an event of deep spirituality and engaging popular tradition.

This unique celebration features the symbolic meeting of the statues of the Madonna of Castrocielo and the Madonna of Colle San Magno, carried in procession by their respective faithful along the mountain trails to the summit. Here, in an atmosphere of great emotion, the two effigies come close enough to touch in a gesture symbolizing peace, unity, and blessing for the local communities.

The event, accompanied by singing, prayers, and moments of sharing, represents a bridge between past and present, passing down a rite that has its roots in history and popular devotion. But "The Kiss of the Madonnas" is also a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of the mountain landscape, rediscovering ancient paths and enjoying breathtaking views of the Liri Valley.

In addition to the religious aspect, the day transforms into a true community celebration, with moments of togetherness, tastings of local products, and outdoor activities, making the event an unmissable experience for visitors, hikers, and faithful.
