Throughout Italy the 25 April si celebra l’anniversario della Liberazione, ma in Veneto i festeggiamenti non si limitano a questo: a Venezia, in particolare, questa ricorrenza coincide con una festa ancora più antica e grandiosa, quella di St Mark's, il Patrono della città. Si tratta di una celebrazione religiosa molto sentita e a cui partecipano ogni anno migliaia di local, turisti e visitatori.

Alla Feast of St. Mark There are very special legends and customs, such as the Feast of the Bocolo, as well as various translation delights to taste.

In origine, a Venezia la Feast of 25 April It was just one of three dates dedicated to St. Mark. The before It was celebrated on 31 January, giorno in cui nell’828 arrivarono le reliquie del Santo in città. I mercanti veneziani Rustico da Torcello e Bono da Malamocco, insieme al servitore Basilio, ne trafugarono i resti ad Alessandria d’Egitto e li portarono a Venezia nascosti tra frutta e carne di maiale.

The Second party dedicated to St Mark's It was the 25 June In memory of the discovery of the lost relics. According to legend, during the mass to consecrate the new basilica built in honor of the Saint in 1094, one of the columns broke revealing the bones of St. Mark hidden inside.

Finally, the third and final, oltre che l’unica che si celebra ancora oggi, la Feast of 25 April, istituita dalla Repubblica di Venezia. La Serenissima (appellativo delle città che stava ad indicare il clima di pace e serenità cittadino, oltre al dominio incontrastato nei commerci) festeggiava il Santo Patrono, che aveva preso il posto di San Teodoro, nel giorno della sua morte.
