Great anticipation for the appointment, today at noon sharp and as on every eve of the celebration, with the enthronement of the simulacrum of Sant'Efisio , covered in the clothes of the celebration and embellished with the gold and jewels of the faithful, in the gala chariot, greeted by the hymn "Sardae Patronus Insulae".

The bells of the church and the nearby parish church of Sant'Anna will announce that the Saint is ready to embark on his journey to Nora .

Another preparatory rite is also scheduled for the first hours of the day: the adornment of the statue with the gold and votive offerings of the faithful.

The great feast of Sant'Efisio has begun: the grandiose and spectacular procession of May 1st is only the beginning of this "procession", an open treasure chest of the colors and sounds of Sardinia which, once it leaves Cagliari, will become a pilgrimage , subdued and moving, up to the little church of Nora.

Videolina will broadcast the four days of the "path" of Sant'Efisio live, from 1st to 4th May , while tomorrow on newsstands , with the newspaper, a free insert dedicated to the 368th edition of the Feast of Sant'Efisio will be distributed.
