The Feast of Saint Januarius by Courtney Kamm
Every year on September 19, Italian Catholics around the world take part in the Feast of Saint Januarius to honor him as the Patron Saint of Naples. In Italy, this day is known as La Festa di San Gennaro. What originally began as a one-day celebration became a massive festival that often spans several days. The feast not only contains delicious Italian sausages, pasta, and other delicacies, but also parades, games, and other fun-filled attractions are packed into the day as well. In most locations, the procession of Saint Januarius’ statue and the Italian food and music are included as a staple of the celebration. What are you doing this year to celebrate The Feast of Saint Januarius? Let us know at courtney@ilpensiero.net.
