The dates recall three moments in history that link the relics to the Neapolitan people.
During the “anniversaries” that the “Prodigy” or “Miracle” of the liquefaction of St. Gennaro’s blood takes place.Few people know that Ianuario was the real name of St. Gennaro.
Qundi Gennaro (Neapolitan transformation of Ianuario) was not his first name but his last name. Unofficial sources state that his name was Proculus
The liquefaction of his blood is famous not only in Naples but all over the world.
It is about San Gennaro, the Neapolitan patron saint who is celebrated in the Campania capital every September 19.
This date coincides with the occurrence of the prodigy, but the martyr’s blood is not only shed on this day.
In fact, the phenomenon is repeated two more times during each year: on the Saturday before the first Sunday in May and on December 16
