Sant'Agata, the feast of the women of Fara

Where command for a day (or commanded) women. A Fara, the feast of St. Agatha traditional controls women. Women's Fara, after church, go out to dinner with her friends and her husband stays at home to care for the animals and the countryside. The history of this tradition dates back to the mists of time. This is not a party like the March 8, meaning social and agriculture policies. Feast that over the years has lost much of its meaning to become a matter of costume and consumption. These days even a little 'sguaiato.Il meaning of the feast of St. Agatha is primarily religious. Agata, a noble and wealthy family from Catania, deaconess and was active in the Christian community in Catania. He refused to recant her Christian faith and accepted without bending, psychological and physical violence and torture, including the removal, with the pincers of a breast. Finally, he was tortured with burning coals. On February 5, 251 Agatha died in his cell. The punishment suffered by the holy explains why it is invoked by women, especially from puepere. His connection with the city of Catania and having saved the city by the eruption of Etna, explains why it is, also, the patron saint of firefighters. Why Women's Day in Fara, unlike what happens in the rest of the world, February 5, the day of Saint Agatha? Tell a dear friend who, probably, the women celebrate this day fares since 1849 to remember a act of courage of women will only succeed in putting to flight the Austrians just before the battle of Novara. This day is dedicated to Saint Agatha, thanks to the painting of the Holy in the parish church of the country. It seems to me logical that the party has been passed down from generation to generation as an opportunity for women to get together at a time not yet very challenging work in the fields and end the day at the dance party, where people were invited to enter free. However do not forget our dear friends have organized the tradition for Sunday, February 6 at the Restaurant and the Centre Farese Elders of the traditional lunch of women Fara. Saturday, February 5, however, Mass is at 10:30.
