Duomo di Enna

Reviewed By StamatisK31

I was disappointed to see that the facade of the church was being restored, and couldn't see it, but also glad that it's not deserted. Anyway there are some very beautiful works of art inside the church, it's beautifully ornated and the door is a work of art in itself. What made the experience even better was that a priest (I guess) was playing the organ while I was there. He didn't seem to notice me and I did everything I could not to bother him. Spend an hour there, I don't know if I was lucky or this happens every morning...

Legend has it that in 1600, some pious women dreamed that in the highest part of the source Papardura there was depicted the image of Jesus crucified and that several people who had prayed the place had been miraculously. in 1696 with the contributions of a deputation of prosecutors called the "Massari", a bridge was built for the edification of the church, with incorporation of the cave in which part and represented the Holy Cross. It is said that by Christmas of 1742, crops were so scarce that there was considerable famine. on that occasion in 1746, went to the Shrine hundreds of people, arrived on the scene, the pastor of the Church, announced that prosecutors of the Church, in honor of Jesus Crucified, every year, for the party have distributed small "collorelle" ( CUDDUREDDE), delta-shaped Greek (Holy Cross), made up of mixture of flour and water. That year the earth gave such an abundance of grain. And so the Cudduredde sanctioned devotion since then and to this day it is practiced in the feast of the crucifix as an act of thanksgiving for the end of the terrible famine.
