The diocese of Dijon specifies the organization to celebrate the patron saint of winegrowers on January 22, as well as the times of masses.
Press release from the diocese of Dijon of January 20, 2021:
Saint Vincent 2021, which organization in Côte-d’Or?
Saint Vincent, patron saint of winegrowers
On Saint Vincent’s Day (January 22) and more often the weekend before this date, processions are organized in several wine villages to commemorate the patron saint of winegrowers. During these processions, the statue of the saint is handed down from family to family every year, giving rise to large and joyful events.
“In many villages, for a very long time, winegrowers have gathered in mutual aid societies, which often have Saint Vincent as their patron. These companies are mainly responsible for taking care of the vines of a sick or deceased winegrower. This kind of service is still provided today ”, told us Father Garnier, pastor of the parishes of Meursault and Nolay, last year.
Because of the pandemic, the demonstrations, processions and big parties that invade our streets are mostly canceled or very restricted – no reception, no meal. “For some, it will also be a white year, that is to say that the saint will not change vineyard. “
In the respect of sanitary conditions, the masses are well maintained!
