Image description

Naples' Archibishop Cardinal Michele Giordano holds a glass vial containing a powdery substance which many Neapolitans revere as the dried blood of their patron St Gennaro at the end of a ceremony in the Naples cathedral September 19, 2000. The blood liquifies after 40 minutes of prayer in a twice-yearly miracle. Superstitious Neapolitans believe that if the blood of the fourth century St. Gennaro fails to liquify, or takes a long time to do so, disaster is at hand. Italian scientists have confirmed the substance is blood but have not discovered why it liquifies regularly. ML
