Snake Covered Statue
Every May, hundreds gather in the Italian town of Cocullo to drape snakes onto a statue in a festival known as Processione dei Serpari. The festival celebrates the town’s patron saint, St. Dominic, who is said to have cleared an invasion of snakes from the town’s fields and cured snake bites during the 11th century.
