Calabria: Mass of Saint George at Santa Maria della Candelora

Reggio Calabria, April 23, 2026 – The Calabria Delegation of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George celebrated Holy Mass on the occasion of the feast of Saint George the Martyr. The celebration was attended by the Vice Delegate, Knight Grand Cross of Merit Dott. Aurelio Badolati, together with a group of Knights and Dames. The liturgy took place at the Parish of Santa Maria della Candelora, in the historic center of Reggio Calabria, and was presided over by the Vice Prior of the Calabrian Delegation, Mons. Luigi Cannizzo.

During the liturgy, the Gospel of John (Jn 6:44–51) was proclaimed, in which Jesus states that no one can come to Him unless drawn by the Father, and promises resurrection on the last day and eternal life to those who believe. Christ presents Himself as the Bread of Life, the essential nourishment for attaining eternal life. Mons. Cannizzo invited those present to reflect on the meaning of the Gospel passage, also recalling the figure of Saint George, Patron of the Order: one of the most ancient saints, a Knight of peace in the struggle against evil, venerated on the same day by both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. At the end of the celebration, the Vice Delegate Aurelio Badolati recited the Prayer of the Constantinian Knight. The evening concluded with greetings from the Vice Delegate himself, with the hope of meeting again soon for another celebration, possibly followed by a fraternal agape meal.
