The legend of the olive tree


Sicily has got three saints who are considered the patrons of Catania, Siracusa and Palermo.
They are S. Agatha (patron of Catania), S. Lucia (Siracusa) and S. Rosalia (Palermo).
Some fascinating legends are linked to them.
The first one is the olive- tree of S. Agatha.
It tells us that when Agatha was on her way to the law-court to be judged according to the will of her persecutor, Quinziano, she stopped to lace up her shoes. Just there an olive -tree originated and all its fruits were picked up by the devotees of S. Agatha.
Nowadays just in front of the church built in the same place of the prison of S. Agatha there is an olive-tree and people think that it is the same tree of S. Agatha.
