Very attractive and historic postcard. According to Wikipedia: Sant'Eleuterio ( V century [1] ), Pilgrim and confessor, is revered as a saint by the Catholic Church and is the patron of Arce , a town in the province of Frosinone .The saint's life is shrouded in legend. Sant'Eleuterio was probably born in a country of ' England and was educated by his family to Christian principles. At a young age, with a group of friends, he decided to go to Palestine to visit the places connected with the life of Jesus . On the way home from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land he decided to go to Rome , along the Via Appia and the Via Latina . But come to Arce night asked for lodging at the inn, which was with the Toll Tower, but the landlord, in addition to the rejection, the pitted against even her big rabid dogs who tamed immediately at the sight of the saint. The next morning the innkeeper with great surprise, he found, not far from the tavern, the body of the dead pilgrim, guarded by mastiffs and many snakes that lapped at his feet. The pilgrim was immediately acclaimed a saint by the population, which elevated him to the city's patron. After his death he was found an iron chain around his waist, that the saint used as a hair shirt. This chain was transformed into two keys that are kept devoutly by local people. The saint's relics are kept in an urn beneath the altar dedicated to him in the parish church of Saints Peter and Paul Arce. Sant'Eleuterio is invoked against the bite of rabid dogs and serpents. Many changes were made during periods of drought that the people Arcese attributed to the saint, like that of 1949 , commemorated by a plaque placed outside the sanctuary, when, after the district solemn processions through the district, it was raining profusely. The cult of Sant'Eleuterio was also widespread in neighboring countries to Arce, especially Aquinas , where he still in the cathedral houses a wooden statue of the saint dating from the eighteenth century . In solemn procession the statue of the saint is fine with dogs, hat, cane and silver snakes. The saint is always portrayed in pilgrim's clothes, with shell to drink the water, with the stick in his hands and with two dogs kept in chains. Also in the two processions in which the statue is carried from the sanctuary to the church and vice versa, this is placed in a fercolo wooden baroque style, built in 1893 , full of scrolls, angels and caryatids. The feast day is May 29 , when the statue of the patron saint, along with that of Santa Rita, is carried in solemn procession through the streets of the historic center of the town. For this occasion, the Sunday after May 5 , the day that the population Arcese devoted to fasting, the statues of Sant'Eleuterio and Saint Rita of Cascia are transferred in solemn procession, in a blaze of fireworks and singing along a distance of four kilometers from the shrine dedicated to the saint of the parish Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. Here they remain until the middle of June, when more and in solemn procession, are reported in the Sanctuary. Other festivities tied to the saint is the 3 August ; where the festivities are held in the Sanctuary, situated in the locality Sant'Eleuterio.
