Every year in June after Corpus Christi a very special ritual takes place in South Tyrol. Mountain fires are lit all over the country to express the special bond with the homeland.

The earliest custom dates back to the 19th century. All Tyrolean state stands met in Bolzano to discuss the situation of the French groups. It was decided that the state of Tyrol should be entrusted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in order to ask for divine assistance. Since then, the vow has been renewed every year and the mountain fires have been kindled.
