The Legend of Saint Rosalia

Ten thousand people die in palermo of the plague. But everone starts to say, it would have been so much more if saint rosalia didn't reveal herself and warn us of the Plague. So her bones become a relic within the catholic church. And these are not the bones of a saint. When the pendemic is over, her bones are paraded through the city of palermo around august september,. They start to call her the little saint. It becomes an italian american tradition too, because of emigrants from sicily. This tradition continues and continues in sicily as well.
