FETE DE SAN CALOGERO

This important religious procession in honour of the black saint of Agrigento, Saint Calogero, is quite original. It would be a shame not to attend if you are passing through at this time. His statue is carried in a procession through the town and is followed by thousands of people, mostly locals, but also pilgrims. Some cry, touch the statue of the deity with their hands, while others kiss her feet. A festival not to be missed to better understand Sicilian life and folklore.
