Holly snakes of Virgin Mary appear every year in Arginia, attracting large numbers of devout Christians. Legend has it that once there was a convent at Arginia and the nuns, fearful of pillaging pirates, prayed to the Virgin to be saved. God turned the nuns into small snakes and they were spared. Every year, just before the Festival of the Virgin Mary, holy snakes with a black cross on their head return to the church at Arginia.
