THE STORY OF A CULT OF SANTA ROSALIA BIVONA

Santa Rosalia, Virgin hermit, lived in the twelfth century, presence was probably between 1130 and 1170. According to tradition, spent the first years of his youth at the Norman court of Roger II and then became a handmaiden of Queen Margherita, wife of King William I. After leaving the court, first chose the monastic life at some Basilian and Benedictine monasteries, then the life of a hermit in the caves Quisquina, Bivona and at Palermo, where he died on Mount Pellegrino. The cult of St.
Rosalia in Bivona has ancient origins that date back to the mid-fourteenth century. The cult bivonese is based on two traditions: the first, a little known, says the appearance of Santa Rosalia in a man (or a girl or jurors) on a stone, promising to free Bivona fever if it had been built a church in his honor at the same place. The fever subsided and around the stone "miraculous" was the Church which was built outside the walls. It was 1348 or 1375. There is no trace of the stone due to the continuous transformation and restoration of the Church throughout the centuries. The second tradition began in 1624 after Following the revelations and visions of Mary bivonese Roccaforte (1597-1648), tertiary Benedictine, who died in the odor of sanctity. The Servant of God claimed to have had some visions of Santa, who tells his own life. According to tradition the hermitage of Santa after seven years at the cave of Quisquina, having been discovered and disturbed his religious practices by some local residents, he moved further downstream and Bivona precisely because it was in the possession of his father Sinibaldi, Lord of Quisquina and Rose (Rose of the mountain overlooking Bivona). The Santa lived in for five years at Bivona inserted a cave in a forest of oak trees and traversed by a river, the same one that still flows into the ground in front of the church. Of the forest remained only a portion of the strain (or roots) of the oak where the saint used to pray to stop and find shelter in the hollow trunk of that tree. This "sign" of Santuzza is placed near the entrance and was now made visible through an opening clear.
