About Festa Maggiore of Terlizzi

 

Terlizzi's Festa Major - this year August 4, - is praised out of appreciation for the Black Madonna of Sovereto, a Byzantine symbol from the East or painted on the spot, found around the year one thousand of every a karst collapse the Sovero woods, in Terlizzi area of Bari. The legend recounts shepherd plan on liberating the leg of a sheep of his run.

 

Starting from the earliest stage saw a light channel through which he found a cavern and there he found the image of the Black Madonna. In that spot today stands the Sanctuary of Sovereto. In the mid 1700s, the general population announced the Virgin of Sovereto the benefactor holy person of Terlizzi and had the symbol set in a little Neapolitan silver sanctuary.

 

From that minute the yearly cycle of merriments begins from the town in his respect, whose primary days are 16th and 23rd April, and the Festa Maggiore, the principal Sunday of August. The symbol of the Madonna appears through the lanes of Terlizzi on the "triumphal chariot", the marvelous 22-meter high vehicle driven by the power of 60 men and guided by four helmsmen who oversee, with their developments, to drive the wagon.
