2024 - San Calogero's feast
San Calogero, though not the patron saint of Agrigento - that title belongs to San Gerlando - holds a special place in the hearts of the faithful. Known as the saint of the poor, San Calogero's feast day resonates deeply within the community. The celebration is marked by vibrant processions, where devoted followers carry his statue through the streets, enduring immense physical strain as an act of reverence. Devotees climb the statue to kiss it, demonstrating their deep devotion, and bread is thrown from balconies to commemorate San Calogero's charity towards the poor, reflecting his role as a compassionate healer and protector.
These photos document key moments of the festival, highlighting the physical exertion of the bearers and the interactions of the faithful with the statue.
