Feast of Saint Agatha in Catania
The Feast of Saint Agatha is Catania's most important religious celebration, held each February in honor of the city's patron saint and virgin martyr. Thousands of devoted followers, dressed in traditional white sackcloth robes, process through the streets alongside the saint's relics carried on the *fercolo*, creating one of the world's largest and most moving religious festivals.
