FESTA DI SAN GENNARO
Go there and contact
On September 19, Naples celebrates its patron saint January and witnesses the miracle of the liquefaction of the saint's blood in the cathedral.
Three times a year, Neapolitans fervently pray to San Gennaro (St. January), the patron saint and protector of the city. The statue of him is carried in procession through the streets of the city. In the crowd gathered around the cathedral, the miracle of San Gennaro is awaited above all. A sacred reliquary houses curious ampoules, where the coagulated blood of the saint has been preserved in solid form for centuries. For the miracle to happen, the blood must become liquid. If, on the other hand, nothing happens, it is not a good omen.
