San Rocco

Isaac Kremer/ August 19, 2023/ / 0 comments

The San Rocco festa or feast is a day in which Italians venerate the life of this saint. Protector against the plague and contagious diseases, San Rocco often appears with an open sore on his leg (purportedly a lesion from leprosy), a walking staff in his hand, and a small canine at his side.
