Feast Grain Jelsi

The grain of Jelsi Festival takes place every year on July 26 in honor of St. Anne. The festival is a thanksgiving that is handed down from generation to generation since 1805, when the farmers and citizens of Jelsi were spared by a strong earthquake.

The festival attracts people from every part of Italy and the Jelsesi immigrants, find themselves in the country on this day to be reunited with their families of origin.

The town is festooned made of corn braids and floats parade through the streets of the country tradition, decorated with traditional fabrics and wheat. The Sant'Anna Dipper is obviously the main. Among the gallery you are also known a straw wagon and a beautiful wooden art work grain and straw, representing a wide open door and the Crucifix of San Damiano. The door wide open, as stated in the phrase engraved on straw parchment, recalls the invitation of St. John Paul II to open the doors to Christ in their lives.
