In South Tyrol, we’ve always attached great importance to our customs and rituals, even if a sense of innovation and design is palpable . Yesterday our mountains were on fire to celebrate the Sacred Heart Sunday 🔥🔥 This tradition has its roots in 1796, when the people of South Tyrol invoked the help of the Good Lord to contrast french empereor Napoleon’s invasion of their territory. When they succeeded, they lit bonfires on the mountain ridges, as a sign of gratitude. Since then, the Sacred Heart is celebrated every year on the 3nd Sunday after Pentecost with a High Mass and sermons, along with bonfires in the shape of eagles, crosses and hearts ❤️ Have you seen these fires in South Tyrol?
