The secular miracle of San Gennaro is long in coming: after more than three hours, the blood of the patron saint of Naples has not yet melted. We will try again around 4.30pm, when the case is returned to theMain altar of the Cathedral and the miracle will be tried for the last time, before the 6:30 p.m. Mass that will be presided over by Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe in the presence of the few faithful admitted by the anti-Covid restrictions.
This morning many thought that the miracle would already take place on the first attempt: but after 9:30 it was clear that the miracle would not happen soon, and it was preferred to postpone it for a few hours. Great astonishment among the faithful present but also among the Curia. The miracle of San Gennaro is considered a good omen, while the lost miracle has always been associated with bad omens and disasters: in the last century, a “lost” miracle has been recorded not a few disasters, many of which are of origin natural. And therefore, in a 2020 battered by the Coronavirus pandemic, comfort and hope are also sought in religion.
The secular of December 16 is the third miracle of San Gennaro of the solar year: the others fall on the first Sunday in May and on September 19. In the previous cases of 2020, the miracle has always happened: hopefully, therefore, also in the third. For the many faithful who, due to coronavirus restrictions, were unable to access the Naples Cathedral to follow the ceremony in person, You can follow the show on the Canale 21 Neapolitan television station., which already this morning followed the first part of the religious function and which will also follow the second, the one in which we expect a miracle of good luck for 2021.
