On the occasion of the celebration, the statue of the Archangel Michael which had been transported to the Mother Church of San Michele Arcangelo in Padula for the restoration work, returned to the rock sanctuary.
The marble San Michele was carried in a solemn procession by the faithful and by the parish priest, Don Giuseppe Radesca.
