★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Менгир Сан Пауло стоит на крипте, в которой бережно сохранены очень необычные росписи. На одной из них изображён абсолютно языческий символ – паук. Согласно местным верованиям, покровителем пауков является сам апостол Павел. Ему принято молиться об исцелении от нервного расстройства наподобие кликушества, которое, - в прошлом, было довольно распространено среди женщин на Юге Италии. Считалось, что причина болезни – укус тарантула. Кстати, отсюда происходит и танец тарантелла: двигаясь в бешеном ритме, больные надеялись изгнать из организма яд вместе с потом. Местная легенда так объясняет посвящение крипты Св. Павлу (прежде она была посвящена Богородице): у одного местного художника жена страдала вышеупомянутым недугом. После молитв Св. Павлу она исцелилась, и благодарный муж изобразил на внутренней стене крипты символ апостола, а сооружение стало носить имя святого.
Mengir Sao Paulo stands on a crypt in which very unusual paintings are carefully preserved. One of them depicts an absolutely pagan symbol - a spider. According to local beliefs, the patron saint of the spiders is the apostle Paul himself. He decided to pray for a cure for a nervous breakdown, similar to a whooper, which, in the past, was quite common among women in southern Italy. It was believed that the cause of the disease was a bite of a tarantula. By the way, the tarantella dance comes from here: moving in a frantic rhythm, patients hoped to expel poison from the body along with sweat. Local legend explains the dedication of the crypt to St. Paul (formerly it was dedicated to the Virgin): a local artist had a wife suffering from the aforementioned ailment. After prayers to St. Paul, she was healed, and the grateful husband depicted on the inner wall of the crypt the symbol of the apostle, and the building began to bear the name of the saint.
