http://public.fotki.com/KefMuse/agios_gerassimos/ The Festival of the Patron Saint of Kefalonia St. Gerasimos. The Saint is the Patron saint of the mentally insane. (Says it all really;) The festival takes place twice a year, on 16th August & 20th October. The sick the dying and the mentally ill will lie down in the road for the Holy Ritual where the cask is paraded with the remains of the Saint inside. If you look closely at one of the photos you may see the body of the saint. http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/KefMuse/agios_gerassimos/ http://public.fotki.com/KefMuse/agios_gerassimos/preist1.html 1-Ag-Preist
