The celebrations in honor of Saint Helena are underway in Sinnai and will end on Sunday. The party began with a mass and a torchlight procession to accompany the Saint to her country church several kilometers from the town. Tomorrow at 8 pm, in the same church, Monsignor Mosè Marcia will celebrate the mass which will be sung by the S'Arrodia Choir of Sinnai.
On Friday, again in the countryside, from 9.30 to 10.30 Eucharistic adoration is scheduled. At 8 pm the Mass in memory of Don Giovanni Cadeddu and Father Gianni Concas and the missing members. On Saturday at 8 pm the mass will be dedicated to all the people who bear the name of Elena. Also on Saturday, at 9.30 pm, the improviser poet Antonino Grifagno (who recently passed away at the age of 88) will be remembered in Sant'Elena with a poetic competition of “mutetus longus”.
On Sunday the conclusion: at 7.30 pm in the small church the mass will be celebrated that will precede the procession with the return of the simulacrum of the Saint in the parish of Santa Barbara. As announced by the parish priest Father Gabriele Biccai , on holidays, the church will remain open every day at all hours. Saint Helena in Sinnai is particularly venerated.
For the civil celebrations, an entertainment show is scheduled for the evening of August 18 (at 9 pm) and, on Saturday evening, fireworks and a musical show.
