Santissimo Crocifisso Olmo, Religious monument in Mazzarino, Italy.

The Santissimo Crocifisso Olmo church presents three naves with a main altar containing a wooden crucifix and side altars adorned with paintings.

The church stands on the site of a former Norman structure from the 10th century dedicated to Madonna dell'Itria, later rebuilt in 1756.

The church maintains a strong connection with the Confraternita della Bara, a brotherhood of 100 men established in 1881 to carry the processional crucifix.

Located on Via Gallo, north of Santa Maria della Neve church, the building opens daily with extended hours during May celebrations and Christmas.

According to local history, thieves attempting to steal the crucifix abandoned their plan when their elm staff miraculously grew into a full tree.
