Soul and Tradition

The Sant’Agata festival in Catania, Sicily, is a unique blend of faith and folklore. Each year, thousands of devotees in traditional white garments fill the streets for three days and nights, expressing their devotion both spiritually and physically. Immersing myself in the crowd, I was captivated by the intensity in their eyes, the signs of fatigue, and the deep sense of belonging. These celebrations are truly a powerful expression of tradition and identity.
