“Happy Palm Sunday, let us pray to Our Lady of Montevergine with trust, so that the smile of peace may once again blossom on the face of the world.” This was the message from Abbot Riccardo Luca Guariglia, who celebrated Holy Mass on Palm Sunday. The Benedictine Community warmly welcomed everyone as the Sanctuary reopened after months of closure. Many pilgrims reached the Sanctuary of Mamma Schiavona on foot and by funicular. Currently, the funicular is the only way to reach the Sanctuary. The provincial road is still undergoing safety works and is not open to cars or buses. On holidays, vehicle traffic will also be closed along the alternative route, allowing passage only for service and emergency vehicles. Many pilgrims, as tradition dictates, will continue to climb on foot along the trails starting from Mercogliano and Ospedaletto d’Alpinolo.
