A 400 BCE statuette of the goddess Artemis riding a deer, found in Siracusa (now on display at Museo Orsi). Such votives were used to venerate deities throughout the ancient Greek Mediterranean. Artemis is the mistress of animals and wild, untamed things. The wilderness is where you'll feel her presence. She is the goddess of the hunt and hunters. She protects women in childbirth and maidens. She is a symbol of female independence, and shows us the value of solitude and wild, untamed places. She was strongly venerated in Siracusa and beyond. #experiencesicily #sicily #artemis #artemide #ancientgreek #magnagrecia #archaeology #archeologia #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Museo archeologico regionale Paolo Orsi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWkC7e2sS0S/?utm_medium=tumblr

In Siracusa, veneration of Santa Lucia may be found in many locales, for example at this grocery store that I frequented last February during an extended stay. I saw this tamburello (frame drum) with the patroness of light, eyes, and grain on it, and I lept for joy! I want one! Join me next Monday, Dec. 13 at 7pm Eastern on Zoom for an online celebration of the Feast of Santa Lucia. I'll discuss Lucia's life, her legends, and the traditions practiced. I'll sing the beloved song "Santa Lucia" live and explain Saint Lucy's connection to ancient divine feminine energies in the Mediterranean. Register at link in bio.

Sitting upon a shelf of limestone that is part of the African tectonic plate, the magic Iblean Mountains were featured on Italian television today, for a good reason: They possess a mysterious beauty with a profound history - - both human and natural. For those interested in both and who want to hike while in Sicily, add this to your itinerary. Per l'italiani, si trova Linea Verde Tour su Rai1HD di 4/12/2021.

My friend Ed, who lives in Siracusa, sent me this photo (along with some video). On the Tuesday evening, the night of the solstice, he and his wife serendipitously came upon a marching band in the Piazza Duomo proudly performing as the fire department escorted the sacred relics of Santa Lucia back to their usual home in the Duomo. Children weaved their bicycles around devotees as the bones from the saint's arm, which had spent the week at the Church of Saint Lucia 'al Sepolcrò in Siracusa proper in observance of her martyrdom, ascended the church"s baroque stairs. Shouts of "Viva Santa Lucia!" floated above cymbal crashes and pulsating bass drums. Regretfully, not the normal crowded homecoming due to the pandemic, but still, a heartfelt display of gratitude for the light their Santuzza brings during the darkest days of the year. "You've gotta love this place," Ed wrote to me. Yes, yes I do... #experiencesicily #sicily #santalucia #saintlucy #ortigia #siracusa #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Piazza Duomo.

The Temple of Concordia at Valley of the Temples in Agrigento is magnificent under the full moon. Whenever possible, plan to see the temples at night (as well as during the day), at least from the roadway. Another place one can see the Valley lit up at night is from the front stairs of the Church of San Nicola. If you are really fortunate, stay at the outstanding Hotel Villa Athena, which has stupendous views from many of its rooms. #experiencesicily #sicily #agrigento #valleyofthetemples #valledeitempli #tempiodiconcordia #unesco #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Valley Of The Temples - Agrigento) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXuvDQds63c/?utm_medium=tumblr

In Palermo's "Theater of the Sun," the intersection better known as Quattro Canti, four fountains featuring women illustrate the four seasons. Not only the annual seasons, but those of life too. Pictured here is Winter. She's an older, wiser woman holding a flaming lantern. Showing us the way through the darkest time of the year. The solstice is on Tuesday. NB as the sun rotates throughout the day and year, it lights up the statues and facades above the street-level fountains, much like a spotlight does the stage in a theater. #experiencesicily #sicily #quattrocanti #palermo #winter #solstice #inverno #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Quattro Canti / Palermo, Italia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXp8_Hmsil3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nero d'Avola is a grape native to Sicily. In recent years, this varietal has become more present on wine lists in the United States. Look for it the next time you're at your favorite Italian restaurant. And tell me what you think! #experiencesicily #sicily #wine #nerodavola #redwine #sicilianwine #vino #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Palermo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXAentZs9e6/?utm_medium=tumblr
