This is the official saint's day, where Saint Gennaro, the patron saint of Italy, has his day. Two vials of his blood, collected after his death in 305AD, are taken out of safekeeping and it is said that once they are exposed to the power of prayer throughout the city, the powdered blood is said to liquefy this is a good omen for Naples. Certainly a great celebration to be a part of if you can.
