NO NAPOLI DOOM! The Blood of San Gennaro Liquefied!


The Blood of St Januarius is to Liquefy at Naples Cathedral three times a year: 
  • 19 September (Saint Januarius's Day, commemorating his martyrdom) 
  • 16 December (celebrating his patronage of Naples and its archdiocese) 
  • Saturday before the First Sunday of May (commemorating the reunification of his relics)
If the Blood of St Januarius fails to liquefy = DOOM for Naples.

On 16 December the blood of San Gennaro did liquefy:



That makes it three times in 2018.

The only Doom event was this on 19 September....


When Cardinal Sepe fell deathly ill......
