Il culto di San Giacomo in Sardegna
The cult of St. James in Sardinia
Abstract
In the analysis of the development of the St. James’s cult in Sardinia, a special attention is dedicated to his travel from Palestine to Spain – a long-established belief still alive in Sardinia – and to the origin of the devotion to the apostle in the two main Sardinian towns, Cagliari and Sassari, as well as in eight villages (Goni, Ittireddu, Mandas Noragugume, Nughedu S. Vittoria, Orosei, Perdaxius, Soleminis), of which St. James is Patron.
Nell’ambito dell’esame dello sviluppo del culto di san Giacomo in Sardegna, particolare spazio viene riservato alla tradizione del transito del santo nell’isola nel suo viaggio dalla Palestina alla Spagna, ancora viva a livello popolare, e alle vicende dell’origine della devozione all’apostolo nelle due città principali sarde, Cagliari e Sassari, e negli otto comuni (Goni, Ittireddu, Mandas Noragugume, Nughedu S. Vittoria, Orosei, Perdaxius, Soleminis) di cui san Giacomo è patrono.
