The history of Catania, like any other place in the Mediterranean, is made up by the sequence of cultures passing through, conquering and being conquered by the locals, all leaving their mark in every aspect of life. It was founded by the Greek Chalsidian people in 729 b.c.. After some fierce battles the Siracusans conquered the city and ruled it for many centuries. Eventually and inevitably for the times, Catania ended in the hands of first the Romans and subequently the Byzantines. Next, it was the turn of the Arabs , who arrived in 827 A.D., and 200 years later the Normans paid a visit.
In 1169 the city suffered from a terrible earthquake, and while reconstructing it the locals had to also deal with the aspirations of first Henry the VI and subsequently the Spanish. During the Spanish rule, under Frederic III of Aragon, Catania underwent a cultural revival, symbolised by the founding of the University of Catania in 1434, then called the 'Siculorum Gymnasium'. In 1669 a violent eruption of Etna reminded people of the fickleness of life, and the locals were once more faced with the task of reconstruction.

La storia di questo presepe ha inizio un sabato di fine estate del 1741, quando il sacerdote Mariano Valerio, sorpreso da un violento temporale, fu costretto a rifugiarsi in una caverna dove, nell’attesa, maturò l’idea di realizzare in quel luogo «una grotta a somiglianza di quella di Betlemme». Desiderio che si avverò all’alba del 24 dicembre 1752, quando la chiesa venne aperta al culto e intitolata a Sancta Maria ad præsepem.Fra i tanti sacerdoti, che nel corso degli anni si adoperarono nella cura di questo luogo, ricordiamo don Pasquale Abate Pennisi che, verso il 1820, fece ampliare la chiesa. Inoltre diede incarico, sin dal 1812, al ceroplasta locale Mariano Cormaci di arricchire il presepe con nuovi pe ... Read More...
