In Modica an important tradition is recovered for the feast of Saint Peter, that is, the holy men, or rather the reproductions through the so-called ephemeral arts of the twelve apostles who, with their going towards the people, symbolically announced the message of salvation of Jesus. A practice that had been lost but was recovered with the first holy man depicting Saint Peter the Apostle. This was announced by the parish priest Don Giuseppe Stella during the presentation of the project last night in the Mother Church, organized by the Kalicantun association, represented by Giuseppe Walter Buscema and Pierpaolo Ruta.
The project
The Kalicantun association supports the parish of San Pietro in the realization of this project which will see full completion in the jubilee year of 2025. Last night was the official start of an intense year which will see the association, the parish, the workers and volunteers who will revive in an orderly, solemn and engaging way, one of the traditions most loved by the people of Modica until a few years ago and which, hopefully, will meet the favor and support of the faithful and citizens, to bring back the feast of St. Peter, as it has always been, the heart of June Modican.
In the meantime, we continue with the religious program which sees the neighborhood mass tomorrow, Tuesday 18 June, at 7pm in via Toscano. On Wednesday, however, there will be a prayer vigil at 8pm in the Mother Church with the presence of the city’s Grest animators and, to follow, games at Largo Mons. Gambuzza as well as the inauguration of the Pippo Giuca youth center.
