The provided text explores the historical origins and modern traditions of the Feast of St. Rosalia, the most significant annual festival in Palermo, Sicily. It recounts how the remains of a 12th-century hermit were discovered and paraded through the city in 1624, an act credited with miraculously ending a devastating plague. Consequently, she was named the patron saint of Palermo, and her July feast day was officially established by the Church. Today, the celebration features a massive ship-shaped chariot and vibrant processions that draw large crowds to honor the "Little Saint." The source also details the specific ritual activities held on July 14th and 15th, ranging from firework displays to the formal blessing of her relics.
