THE 25 April is the feast of San Marco Evengelista.
And since tomorrow is San Marco:
LEONI ALATI, PROUD AND SAFE
MYTHICAL ALLOW WRITTEN ON THE WALLS
FLAGS UP,
AN OPEN GATE
ONE CRY: VIVA SAN MARCO.
E’ A message that has arrived. For the Venetians 25 April is a millenary anniversary, And there is no possibility to replace it with other holidays as I explain. St Mark’ the patron of the Venetian people, as well as numerous cities.
A small history of the party in the sense “republican” it's here.
S.Marco as appears not only in theology therefore, A figure of this importance that was decided to translate the body from Venice to Alexandria d'Egyto, violating the announcement to the same S.Marco that his body would have rested forever there.
A little story of St. Mark is here http://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/20850
The Italian Republic also decided to cover the anniversary with the resistance holiday, A story that is false in the Venezie because the “Resistance” He wanted to give all of Veneto and Friuli to Yugoslavia because territory “legitimately Slovenian”. Fallilorono the coup.
Obviously in Venice it is a big party.

in Verona, the morning of 25 April at the Basilica of Sant'Anastasia Mass Latina sung in Latin 11 in honor of St. Mark.
The party in S.Bonifacio di Verona is also important that lasts all day., It is celebrated in many towns of the Friuli and Venezia, and obviously in Many parts of Istria and in Rovinj, if not delete this .
Even where the Venetians emigrated celebrates San Marco, come Fertilia in Sardinia
And even in some municipalities of Byzantine seed as Rossano Cosenza E San Marco Argentano

Excuse loris,
I think no longer being able to read well, but with this:
“S.Marco as appears not only in theology therefore, a figure of such importance that it was decided to shift the body from Venice in Alexandria, Egypt, violating the announcement at the same San Marco that his body would forever rested there.”
do you mean? that S.Marco will not be more in Venice? who decided the?
Thank you.
