The Feast of Saint Rosalia is one of the most important religious events in the island of Sicily and especially in Palermo. The feast is dedicated to Saint Rosalia, also called “La Santuzza” (Little Saint), the patron saint of the city, and it commemorates the miraculous appearances of the Saint from 1624, when Palermo was hit by the plague.
The 395 edition of the feast will be held on 14-15 July 2019, announced Palermo Municipality. The procession will start tonight from the Cathedral of Palermo, reaching Foro Italico, near the sea, culminating with an impressive firework display. The Archbishop and the Mayor of Palermo Leoluca Orlando will lead the procession.
