St. Agata is again between her people.....
From the 3rd to the 5th of February, Catania dedicates a great festival to its Patron Saint: Sant’Agata. The celebration involves up to a million people with tourists, onlookers and devotees. Processions with fireworks, ceremonies and magnificent historical parades wind their way through the streets, illuminated by thousands of lights. In the Baroque city, ancient rituals are renewed.
In a combination of faith and folklore, the Feast of Saint Agatha is compared to the most famous celebrations, such as Holy Week in Seville and the Feast of Corpus Christi in Cuzco.
