An event that thrills the faithful, but at the same time offers visitors the opportunity to get to the heart of local culture and tradition. The celebration takes place with the statue of the Madonna carried solemnly on the throne along a path that goes from the Cathedral of Vieste , where the rite of the Holy Mass is celebrated in honor of the Virgin Mary of Merino, up to the Sanctuary, 7 km from Vieste, and then finish the evening in the Cathedral, crossing the whole promenade crowded with people. The detail of the chest on which the statue is carried is suggestive, constituted so as to proceed with the Madonna facing the sides of the road, so that, during the outward journey it faces the sea and during the return it faces the fields, thus protecting the two ancient main sources of livelihood of the Vieste people. The party proceeds with the celebrations among the typical flavors of the Gargano and moments of folklore to end with a spectacular show of fireworks that plunge into the sea. According to legend, the wooden statue of the Madonna was found on a beach near the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Merino. Today this festival has a great religious value, but it is also the testimony of the will of the Vieste people to preserve and pass on its history and its culture.
