St Ubaldo Day: The Candles of Gubbio - 2nd Episode

[ ENG ] The 15th of May in Gubbio is St Ubaldo Day and it takes place a great celebration called the Candle Race! After the ritual of the Raising, as the huge candles stand upright, everyone is running, moving like coloured snakes around the Piazza. Everyone wants to get into the church to celebrate the candles and the candle bearers. What a stunning experience: forty thousand people crushed into a space big enough for four hundred!

[ ITA ] Ogni 15 Maggio dal 1160 ad oggi, a Gubbio si celebra la grande Festa dei Ceri! Tre ceri enormi e pesantissimi vengono portati in processione attraverso le strade della città, rappresentando rispettivamente Sant’Ubaldo, Sant’Antonio e San Giorgio. In questo secondo episodio seguiamo con Syusy Blady e Patrizio Roversi la vera e propria alzata e poi corsa dei ceri.
