DIVO BLASIO
Historical and Sociological Research into the Cult of Saint Blaise of Sebaste

Eight brief essays tell the story and social implications behind the devotion to St. Blaise of Sebaste, patron of Maratea.
Legends passed down through generations preserve traces of ancient events now forgotten.
Traditional rituals hide symbols and allusions to local myths.
The centuries-old celebrations, held every May, are the last legacy of a dynamic and innovative generation.
