AFA 2 > ST. LAWRENCE NIGHT <

 

The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle. The Perseids are so called because the point from which they appear to come, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. The name derives in part from the word Perseides (Περσε?δες), a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus.
Some Catholics refer to the Perseids as the "tears of Saint Lawrence", since 10 August is the date of that saint's martyrdom.

In Roman times it was believed that the meteor shower were nothing more than an ejaculation of god Inuo-Priapus that fertilized the fields. The transition in favor of the Christian saint Lorenzo was facilitated, as was the case with many other pagan festivals, by the Catholic Church.

Join us on Monday 10th August, from 9 pm at Pane e Pomodoro Beach, to celebrate St. Lawrence Night in occasion of the exhibition AFA 2. Bring food, drinks, music and wishes to express while watching the shooting stars.
