We returned to Palermo and saw the Cathedral of Palermo. It sits on a large square with many statues on the outside and monuments to Saint Rosalia. She was a hermit who decided to give her life to God and lived and died in a cave in the mountains. Her bones were found 500 years later and brought back to Palermo during the Plague. Upon the arrival of her bones, the Plague stopped and she has been the patron saint of Palermo ever since. Her bones now are carried once a year from the cave back to Palermo to be placed back into this church. The festival is July 14. In September, there is another festival where people have a pilgrimage up to her cave.
