The Parish Group of Carve -Borgo Valbelluna- has organized two important initiatives focused on the Vajont tragedy: the original Easter Nativity scene and the exhibition “Vajont to not forget,” created in collaboration with the Pro Loco of Longarone, with the aim of keeping alive the memory of an event that has profoundly marked our history.
The spirit of these events is inspired by the words of Pope Francis who said in 2024, during the audience of representatives of the population affected by the tragedy of Longarone, on the sixtieth anniversary, that the reconstruction efforts are “seeds of resurrection,” and that even if they don’t make much news, they are “precious in the eyes of God.”
In these days when we impotently witness the destruction caused by armed conflicts with the death of helpless children and adults, there is a need for the cessation of wars, the material reconstruction of severely affected territories, and the restoration of the social fabric through peace and brotherhood among peoples. The necessity for seeds of resurrection to be planted where there is now only pain and death.
The events on Sunday, March 29 will see, in the presence of the Mayor of Borgo Valbelluna Stefano Cesa and of Longarone Roberto Padrin, at 10 o'clock at the end of the Holy Mass the opening of the Easter Nativity scene, followed by the inauguration of the exhibition at the parish hall.
Two events of deep significance and moral value that are a call for everyone.
The Easter Nativity of Carve, among the few present in the province and at the regional level, stands out for its originality as it is completely made with artisanal skill from the figurines to the sheep, of the mountains that overlook Longarone to the dam, with a suggestive and very engaging setting.
The exhibition “Vajont to not forget” will present impactful images that narrate the historical excursus of the event with photos of “Old Longarone,” from the construction of the dam to the disaster that occurred on the night of October 9, 1963, from the rescue efforts to the reconstruction.
On Sunday, April 19 there will be a closing concert in the church at Carve by the Kantas vocal group from Codissago, directed by Anna D'incà, at 6:00 PM
Open every holiday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and in the afternoon from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
