Sanctity
San Gennaro is difficult to explain to those who are not Neapolitan, just as it is impossible to explain Naples itself to those who do not feel they have it in their blood. The "miracle", more properly prodigy, of the dissolution of the blood occurs three times a year, but the most awaited date is that of 19 September, when thousands of people flock inside and abroad to the Cathedral of Naples to admire the ampoules containing the martyr's blood. Its treasures, however, can be viewed every day in the Chapel of the Cathedral.
Pompeii also draws all the faithful to itself, yes because in addition to the Patron Saint of Naples, the grace is also asked of the Madonna at the Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine del Rosario, where the Supplica written by Bartolo Longo is held on May 8 and the first Sunday of October each year.
Naples continues to live despite everything, and to think that it is located between two of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields: she is in the center, not unharmed but splendid, tell me if it's not a miracle.
