Once again this year, the parish community of Asciano is preparing to celebrate one of the most heartfelt and meaningful moments of its spiritual journey: the Feast of the Most Holy Crucifix, which will take place during the third week of September in the Church of St. Agatha.

Triduum in Preparation for the Feast

The days leading up to the feast will be dedicated to a time of reflection and prayer through the traditional Triduum, which will be held from Thursday, September 18 to Saturday, September 20.
This year’s spiritual theme will be: “GLORIA CRUCIS: God speaks in the silence of the Cross”

Each day of the Triduum will feature the celebration of Holy Mass at 6:00 PM, presided over by Fr. Enrico Grassini, liturgist and preacher, who will guide us in a deeper understanding of the mystery of the Cross.

Saturday, September 20 

At 9:00 PM, in the Auditorium, the feast will continue with a special moment of art and spirituality:
"LIGHT OF DREAMS" – A musical by the Young Theatre Company of the Salesian Oratory of the Magione in Siena.

Sunday, September 21

The heart of the celebration will be the Solemn Mass at 6:00 PM, attended by local civil authorities, community associations, and a group of pilgrims walking the Lauretana Way.
During the celebration, there will also be the renewal of promises by the parish service groups—a sign of the living and active bond between faith and everyday life in our community.

At the conclusion of the Mass, we will come together for the traditional procession through the streets of the town, accompanied by the G. Verdi Philharmonic Band of Asciano, and with the solemn presence of the Sacred Relic of the Crucifix.
