Feast of Santa Lucia in Siracusa
The Festa di Santa Lucia in Siracusa is a religious event celebrating the city's patron saint, commemorating the miracle of 1646 when the famine was ended by the arrival of grain-laden ships. The festival includes the opening of the niche containing the simulacrum, the transfer of the simulacrum from the chapel to the main altar, and the solemn eucharistic celebration in the Cathedral. The procession of the venerated simulacrum traverses the historic streets of Ortigia.
