Sant'Agata

"Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, man cannot live without a spiritual life." Buddha Sant'Agata is the religious festival of the patron saint of the city of Catania and considered the third most important Catholic festival. I am neither a Catanese nor a believer, but since 2015, after I moved to Catania. It is a frantic event, but I can't stop photographing it. Maybe I'm just photographing my search for God. In these photos some phases of the celebrations that last three days and three nights.
