Saturday, August 21, 2010, we could see the simple and austere procession penance, formed by local clergy and Catholic associations, which reached the sanctuary, where we held the ritual procedure of 'opening of the plate' . E ', in practice, as one intuits, the opening material of the glass door that closes the niche where it is placed, in seven of seven years, the statue of Our Lady of the Assumption. Three different keys are introduced in as many locks respectively by the parish priest, the mayor and the oldest member of the Board of Rites seven years. While the typical sound of the bells intensifies ... is open the plate, a moving ovation and prolonged applause heard and liberating when the glass of the niche is wide open e. .. shows the statue of the Assumption.
The significance of the fall of the lens diaphragm that separates the faithful from the statue marks one of the possible interpretations of the entire event. This manageable direct neighbors, we can say, without a third separation, almost face to face, directly ... leads to talk, to pray, to seek and ask for forgiveness ... Human confession, communion and purification become collective, every seven years, the possibility of establishing a contact.
terms 'opening of the plate' and the consequent ' closure plate ' indicate the significant moments in which the statue of Our Lady of the Assumption is involved in the event, becoming the undisputed leader.
In the sanctuary, after the general procession, the statue remains on display from seven to fifteen days and throughout this period the faithful take turns begging day and night for both to keep it 'on demand'.
The following Sunday this year (yesterday Sunday, September 5, 2010 after the commissioning of 17.00 ) contained an intense and peculiar procession was held on the forecourt of the shrine of Sanframondi Guard. Few people know this 'appendix' processional, in fact, one can say that the participation is at the sole prerogative of the population. The statue of the Assumption, always precedura dai cmpanelli, viene portata in processione nel contenuto spazio antistante il santuario, viene ' trattenuta ' dai fedeli davanti all'ingresso del santuario quasi a non volersene staccare ... con lo sguardo rivolto verso valle e le spalle al santuario poi, lentamente, a ritroso l'Assunta viene portata nella sua chiesa, si chiude la ' lastra ' della nicchia seguendo lo stesso cerimoniale per l'apertura. I riti settennali 2010 sono, a questo punto, ufficialmente terminati.
