Caltagirone is one of the towns about 40 minutes away from us and had an amazing festival to honor St. James. St. James is the cities patron saint and this festival was first celebrated on July 25, 1090 when Count Roger the Norman liberated Caltagirone's townspeople from the Saracen rule. The light the most elaborate candle displays and shoot off great fireworks! I had the pleasure of going with our friends the Tacey's, the Calahan's, and Hanna and Felicity! We all had a blast! We went pottery/ceramic shopping, watched them light the candles on the famous stairs in Caltagirone and to top everything off we watched the amazing firework show. It was a great night!
