The Sacred Heart Fire in Val Casies
Sunday 29 Jun
Casies
from 21:00 on
Every year on the second Sunday after Corpus Christi, the traditional Sacred Heart mountain fires light up all over South Tyrol. Symbolizing a deep connection to the homeland, this tradition dates back to the Sacred Heart Vow of 1796, when the Tyroleans entrusted their land to the Sacred Heart of Jesus to seek divine assistance. In Val Casies Valley, the impressive fires – Christian symbols in the form of crosses, hearts, inscriptions, and beacons along the mountain ridges – can be beautifully admired from the valley. Particularly stunning is also the illumination of houses in the valley, with lovingly crafted window images and glowing signs on historic farms – a unique experience that brings tradition and faith to life.
