Chiesa prepositurale dei Santi Giovanni Apostolo ed Evangelista e Sant’Antonio Abate is a catholic church located in San Giovanni-San Bernardino.
The relic it houses is very interesting, venerated as one of the thorns from Christ's crown of thorns. In 2016, the "Holy Thorn" sprouted some buds (an extraordinary event). In front of the church itself, there is a monument dedicated to the person who donated the thorn to the city. This curious legend is very interesting.
The building is large and well-preserved. Beautiful in appearance and architecturally pleasing, it fits perfectly into the historic center of the town, of which it is an asset. Inside, a precious relic is kept: a thorn from the "crown" of the crucified Christ. Periodically, the thorn mysteriously buds.
A very large church with a Latin cross plan and three naves. There are beautiful marble altars, including one containing the relic of the Holy Thorn, which is highly venerated here. There are a few paintings, but they are not particularly interesting. A bright and peaceful place for meditation and prayer.
