Religion
.
Since time immemorial, religion has been at the heart of Calitrian social life, the omnipresent element that punctuated and set the very rhythm of life among the poor as well as the rich.
Ceremonies, celebrations, feasts and rituals with a religious setting studded the duration of the solar year.
Through the centuries, the deep faith of the people produced lay and religious fraternal orders (mostly forgotten now), as well as edifices (churches, monasteries, abbeys) fitting for the renewal of ancient rites and religious fervor.
