Archbishop Delpini leads Notte dei Santi in Sant'Ambrogio

Archbishop Delpini led the 11th annual Night of the Saints at the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio. Hundreds of adolescents from the Diocese of Milan participated in the event on the eve of the Solemnity of All Saints.

Accompanied by educators, religious sisters, and lay volunteers, the youth moved through the basilican complex. Participants visited oratory workshops to share personal experiences of happiness and gathered at the outdoor sports field for singing and dancing.

The group entered the basilica to view the Volvinio altar from the Carolingian era and descended into the crypt, which contains the remains of Saint Ambrose and the martyrs Gervaso and Protaso. The event served as an alternative to Halloween, intended to present the joy found in prayer and the examples of the saints.
