It's in the Blood for Feast of San Gennaro

Naple's Feast of San Gennaro, one of the most impressive and important events in the city's calendar, is set to take place again this September.

San Gennaro, patron saint and protector of the city, is remembered in the form of a giant statue, which will wend its way through the streets on September 19th 2006.

However, the main event revolves around the blood of the saint, which undertakes a miraculous transformation on the occasion, believers claim.

The blood of the fourth century saint returns to a liquid state, after much praying and religious cajoling, bringing tears and joyous celebrations from the city dwellers.

An extremely popular event, it has since been adapted, becoming one of the biggest occasions in New York's Little Italy.

Visitors staying in one of Naples' cheap hotels can take in the event, whether they believe in the religious aspect or otherwise, as it is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
