Castellammare – A rose for Santa Rita, the Women’s Day of impossible cases

In Castellammare di Stabia, the party in honor of Santa Rita, the woman of impossible cases, will be held on Wednesday 22 May.

In Castellammare di Stabia, the party in honor of Santa Rita, the woman of impossible cases, will be held on Wednesday 22 May. A place of ancient devotion to the Saint is the Parish of San Matteo in Quisisana, a small treasure chest of faith located in the hilly area of ​​the city. The construction of the church dates back to the 16th century and was commissioned by Roberto d’Angiò, who had twelve churches built in Castellammare di Stabia, each dedicated to an apostle. The cult of Santa Rita was introduced later by Monsignor Alfredo Santaniello. In the chapel dedicated to the Saint, adorned with magnificent paintings by Filosa, the votive offerings testify to the graces that the people attribute to the Saint.

People come to Santa Rita all year round from all over the diocese and neighboring towns. The rose is the symbol of the Saint, in fact it is thought that this flower represents her love for God and her ability to intercede in impossible cases. The faithful bring roses to the parish

chia every Sunday as a sign of thanks or vice versa, they take a rose as a request for grace. Devotion has always been strong in Castellammare. On the day of the feast, many people reach the parish, many people who, despite not knowing each other, gather together because they have the same goal and the same desire: to reach the Saint, entrusting her with their loved ones, their desires and their hopes.
