Amalfi today celebrates Sant’Andrea: the program
Amalfi today celebrates Sant’Andrea: the program. The procession returns through the streets of the city. Amalfi is ready to honor its patron saint Andrea and, this year, after the two-year stop caused by the pandemic, the procession returns through the streets of the city.
Today, June 27, the leading city of the Coast that takes its name is therefore ready to welcome the faithful and tourists on the occasion of this great feast in honor of the Apostle Andrew who, on June 27, 1544, with a miraculous prodigy, a sudden storm, sank the fleet of the Saracen pirate Kair-Ad-Din who wanted to conquer Amalfi.
