St. Agatha's Festival 2008

There's nothing worse than a woman scorned, right? WRONG!

When Agatha, Catania's patron saint, rejected the marriage proposal of a Roman government guy, she paid dearly.

Sent to work in a whore house. Stretched on rack. Slow roasted. And had her breasts cut off.

Rather than die like most would have... this young woman inspired miracles with each excruciating step down the path of martyrdom.



Here's the gang including our new friends Chad and Amy.




These sugary confections are called Agatha's olives.
