Summer fest of San Nicolò Politi in Alcara li Fusi


Summer fest of San Nicolò Politi in Alcara li Fusi

In Alcara Li Fusi, the patron saint San Nicolò Politi is celebrated twice a year: on 3 May and 17 August. According to tradition, the anchorite saint originally from Adernò, today Adrano, lived for thirty years in prayer in Alcara Li Fusi, inside a small cave.
The festival that takes place on August 17 is celebrated in memory of its glorious passage to heaven with a long procession that crosses the whole town. On August 18, the day of the discovery of the body examined by the population, a pilgrimage takes place on foot to the Hermitage, where the church built around the cave where the Saint lived stands.
