An anomalous party – In a cathedral in Naples that has never been so empty, the miracle of San Gennaro occurred again this year, the dissolution of the blood preserved in an ampoule that the cardinal shows the faithful after removing it from the Chapel of the Treasury of San Gennaro. To attend the auspicious rite, which is repeated three times a year, on September 19, the day dedicated to the patron saint, on December 16 and the Saturday before the first Sunday in May, only 200 people attended, including celebrators, authorities and the traditional County Council of San Gennaro. To add a surreal atmosphere to the ritual, also the absence of the prayers and chants of the faithful, due to the rules of prevention of the Coronavirus.
Configure maxi screen – Citizens were still able to witness the miracle from the cemetery, where 300 seats were installed, or thanks to the giant screens.

The blood that melts without lumps is considered a benevolent sign by the citizens. However, when the miracle occurs late, the population expect misfortunes.
