Feast of San Leoluca in Corleone
![Feast of San Leoluca in Corleone](/imgs/eventi/festa-san-leoluca-corleone.jpg)
In Corleone, the celebrations in honor of the patron saint take place on March 1st. On the evening of the feast day they are set up along the streets of the city "a luminiana", that is, large and small bonfires, which are lit when the statue of the patron saint passes through the streets of the city.
The lighting of the bonfires recalls the miracle of the bundles of wood operated by the saint: Leoluca having to supply the convent with wood and unable to carry all the wood on his shoulder, he left part of it in the woods with the intention of returning to take the other load. But it was not necessary as the other beam moved by itself suspended by its side.
