Superstizione

Here are some of the neat Sicilian superstitions, translated to English for you to enjoy!

The night before a woman gets married, she often wears the color green which is thought to bring luck and abundance to the couple.

If you enter someone’s home through one door, you should also leave through that same door. Otherwise, it’s bad luck

Put brand new shiny coins on the window sill before midnight on New Year's Eve for good luck, place them heads up!

Bury a mini plastic statuette of St. Joseph upside down on the front lawn if you want your house to sell Never give pearls as a present, they are to be inherited only The 'horns' is kind of similar to "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you", so if you wish someone harm who wears this pagan jewelry symbol, it will return to you to haunt you When in dire need of prayers for the sick, dead or dying, go to church and light a candle

The Trinacria The Trinacria is the Sicilian flag. It is said that the head of Madusa, as displayed on he flag continues to protect the island, since the day she was slain. Proudly displayed on our flag, she scares off [|Charles I of Sicily] after a rough rebelion for the island! She is backed up by the tree legs, representing the island points, and the noble colors red and gold, meaning nobility and stranght. La Trinacria è la bandiera siciliana. Si dice che il capo del Madusa, come visualizzato sulla bandiera che continua a proteggere l'isola, dal giorno in cui fu ucciso. Bella mostra di sé sulla nostra bandiera, si spaventa Carlo I di Sicilia dopo un rebelion massima per l'isola! Lei è sostenuta da gambe albero, che rappresenta i punti dell'isola, e il nobile colori rosso e oro, il che significa nobiltà e stranght. The Tarantella Dance The Tarantella is an old folk dance typically danced in weddings, but is danced in many other occasions in south Italy. It was a dance for lower and middle class ONLY, and was said to heal sickness and even excite your lover. It was meant originally to aid spider bites of the Tarantella, and the music would play until the victim was healed. One legend involving the dance was that fifteen kids, and four girls danced right outside the church. The priest prayed to the lord out of anger that they would be cursed to dance a whole year strait. The priest felt incredibly sorry a year later when he realized that the children were dancing to get rid of their spider bite.

La Tarantella è una vecchia danza popolare tipicamente ballato in matrimoni, ma è ballato in molte altre occasioni nel sud Italia. Era una danza per la classe più bassa e media SOLO, ed è stato detto di guarire la malattia e perfino eccitare il tuo amante.

ACIS

ACIS waas a son of Faunus and Symaethis. He was beloved by the nymph Galatea, and Polyphemus the Cyclop, jealous of him, crushed him under a huge rock. His blood gushing forth from under the rock was changed by the nymph into the river Acis or Acinius at the foot of mount Aetna. Athena caused little river springs to spring from under a rock, creating Sicily.

ACIS era figlio di Fauno e Symaethis. Era amato dalla ninfa Galatea e Polifemo il ciclope, geloso di lui , lui schiacciato sotto un enorme roccia. Il suo sangue sgorga da sotto la roccia è stata modificata dalla ninfa nel fiume Aci o Acinius ai piedi del Monte Etna. Athena ha provocato piccole sorgenti del fiume a primavera da sotto una roccia, creando Sicilia.
