The patron saint of Esterzili is celebrated with a procession in traditional Sardinian dress, tenore choral singing and a communal lunch. The feast has an intimate and authentic character, far from any worldliness: it is a moment in which the village recognises itself in its own tradition with simplicity and depth. The month of May coincides with the pastures in bloom and nature at its peak.
