Barefoot in Palermo for La Santuzza 

On September 4, 1166, Rosalia, a young woman who had sworn her life in service to Christ, died. The example she set and her protection of Sicily’s capital city is celebrated annually in Palermo with a solemn procession up Mount Pellegrino to her sanctuary. It’s a long, steep climb done by many barefoot to illustrate their faith and devotion. Here she is (pictured in the charm) on a bracelet that I purchased at her sanctuary in May.
