Saint Agatha, Catania, And The Day Lava Stopped

Send us Fan Mail

We trace Saint Agatha’s courage, the legend of her veil halting Mount Etna’s lava, and how faith, art, and science intersect in Catania’s living memory. Eyewitness accounts, pilgrim stories, and civic records reveal how a city formed identity around protection, prayer, and resilience.

• Saint Agatha’s martyrdom and witness
• Early Christian Catania under persecution
• The veil legend and processions at eruptions
• Eyewitness testimonies from antiquity to today
• Scientific views on lava flow diversions
• Artistic depictions and ex votos in devotion
• Patronage over natural disasters and annual festival
• Community resources and ways to deepen devotion
