The cult of Santi Medici links the town of Melendugno to the towns of Latina and Bitonto, its twin towns. The main location for the religious celebrations is the chiesa dell’Addolorata, in Melendugno, where the statues of the Saints Damiano and Cosmo are preserved.
A fine settembre, le celebrazioni iniziano con il rito dell’unzione degli infermi. Il giorno seguente, le statue vengono portate in processione dalla chiesa madre alla cappella dell’Addolorata, accompagnati dalla banda.
All’arrivo in chiesa, come da tradizione si svolge il bacio della reliquia dei santi e subito dopo uno spettacolo pirotecnico che annuncia la conclusione dei festeggiamenti.
