We took a short bus ride to the patron saint of Polermo’s Sanctuary on Mt Pelliegrino. She was the daughter of a Norman noble who lived like a hermit on the mountain where she died in 1166. A plague hit polermo in 1624. She appeared to two people and told them where her bones were. She also told them to take her bones all through Polermo. After the procession the plague ended. The Sanctuary is a cave that is beautiful and unusual. Perhaps the most unusual spot we have ever visited.

The metal sheeting hanging from the ceiling collects water that percolates through small cracks after a rain, thus holly water. Tap on pictures to make them larger.
