The 439th annual festival of Our Lady of Snows Basilica, which will start on July 26 with flag-hoisting, will be conducted without participation of the parishioners this year also due to COVID-19-induced lockdown restrictions. The annual feast that would start with the flag-hoisting on July 26 would culminate with the High Mass to be celebrated on August 5. Since the lockdown restrictions were imposed in March 2020, the celebrations were organised last year without participation of the devotees. However, all the celebrations were televised live on YouTube and local television channels.More Related News
