The Story

The Sanctuary of the Holy Crucifix of Papardura is situated on the slopes, in the southeast of the town of Enna. The place name “Papardura” gives rise to different interpretations:

  • the historian Littara Noto thinks that the name comes from the waters which are plentiful in the area, so Papardura means “ towns with everlasting and substantial waters.”

  • another credible explanation goes back to the Persian origin of the word. “Papar-dura” is the translation of the source water which is “ hard”, the equivalent for rock. Arabs called it in that way to indicate the rock of the flowing water.
