The Neapolitan scapular is a sacred bronze pendant He is the main patron sa int of Naples, in whose cathedral his bones and two ancient ampullae containing the saint’s blood are kept.

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 capital city

bell every September 19. Here is everything you need to know about the history of one of the best-known Neapolitan figures>. The miracle of San Gennaro is to my

notice one of the forms in which religion and superstition merge. Historically, the first documented record of the ampulla containing the alleged relic of the

San Gennaro’s blood dates back only to 1389. That is why the Neapolitan scapular is a double-faced sacred pendant.

Three times a year the ampulla is displayed in the presence of the Archbishop of Naples shown to the people; on two of the three dates the Archbishop of

Naples.

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.

So Gennaro (Neapolitan transformation of Ianuario) was not his first name but his last name.
