San Giuseppe Per ex voto nei giorni precedenti il 19 marzo in molte case del paese vengono allestiti degli altari che la sera della vigilia vengono visitati dagli amici ma anche dai curiosi. E qualche volta si possono ascoltare I lamenti. Il giorno della festa si invitano tre poveri, i tre santi, per pranzare. Alla fine del pranzo i tre dividono tutte le offerte fatte come grano, farina o denaro. In questa occasione vengono distribuite particolari forme di pane: pagnoccu, cuddura, gaddu. Sagra della ricotta In aprile c'è la "Sagra della ricotta e del formaggio", con degustazione dei prodotti tipici. Estate Mirabellese Durante il periodo estivo (luglio-agosto), ad allietare le serate dei residenti, si svolge l'Estate Mirabellese, che si articola in diverse serate che offrono manifestazioni culturali e ricreative come la visione di films, danze, l'ascolto di musica, teatro. Maria SS. delle Grazie E' la festa solenne che i mirabellesi dedicano alla Madonna delle Grazie patrona del paese che si svolge la IV domenica d'agosto con la partecipazione sentita degli emigranti. Sfarzose luminarie, spettacolari fuochi pirotecnici, concerti musicali, processioni solenni, e fede tanta fede. Sagra della Cuccia Nella serata del 12 dicembre si svolge la sagra della Cuccia con la degustazione della pietanza. Si tratta di un piatto arabo che ha per base il grano bollito condito con olio. Questa tradizione è collegata, secondo quanto si racconta a Mirabella, ad una lunga carestia e la comparsa miracolosa di un carico di grano che venne subito cotto e mangiato senza aspettare che venisse macinato per fare pane. Un'altra tradizione collegata alla festa sono le vampe. I fedeli raccolgono paglia e legna formando delle pire al centro delle strade che vengono accese al tramonto. Questa usanza deriva da culti pagani del 13 dicembre (giorno in cui si festeggiava la santa) infatti questo giorno corrisponde al più corto di tutto l'anno e con questo rito si voleva allontanare le tenebre e auspicare il ritorno della luce. Natale Il giorno di Natale, un bambino povero, viene vestito e ricoperto di doni dai fedeli dopo aver percorso le vie del paese. |

Cuccia Festival
In the evening of December 12 is held the festival of Cuccia with tasting the food. This is a dish that has Arabic based wheat boiled with seasoned oil. This tradition is linked, as it tells Mirabella, for a long famine and the miraculous appearance of a cargo of wheat which was cooked and eaten immediately without waiting to be milled to make bread. Another tradition connected to the party are the flashes. The faithful gather straw and wood forming pyres in the middle of streets that are lit at sunset. This custom stems from pagan cults of December 13 (the day on which it was holy) because this day is the shortest of the year and we wanted this rite away the darkness and hoped the return of light.
