"What do I ask of San Gennaro? Surely to protect the city, to look at the many sufferings but also to give us the opportunity to grow and create better living conditions for everyone". This is what the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, said on the sidelines of the celebrations for the feast of San Gennaro, awaiting the miracle that occurred this morning.
"This is what we are trying to do - Manfredi specified - and I hope that this positive path can continue and allow us to help the many who are in need. We have many problems but also many opportunities, we must look at everyone, especially the people who are in difficulty today, who have income problems, housing problems, but we need to look positively to the future, to make the city grow and create opportunities for everyone".

The miracle usually occurs 3 times a year: on the Saint's Feast Day September 19th, the 1st Saturday in May and on December 16th which was the anniversary of the Volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1631. It is considered a bad omen if the blood does not liquify - which happened just before the pandemic.   At the end of the celebration, the ampoule with the relics of the Patron Saint of Naples and Campania was placed in the reliquary in the chapel dedicated to him.
