I santi degli altri. Devozione, mutamento e rituali tra i singalesi cattolici a Messina by Giovanni Cordova

“…In this article I examine changes occurring in rituals and devotional practices enacted by Sinhala Catholics living in Messina (Sicily) and including new saint figures in their devotional repertoires in the wake of transnational mobility. For this reason, processes of construction of sainthood at the core of these ritual systems, very useful to reflect upon the vernacularization of religious discourses along the post-colonial trajectories of western “multicultural” Church, will be analyzed looking at the interactions connecting them to ecclesial powers, the daily experience of the sacred, and religious actors’ existential and biographical paths. …”
