A blind man is said to have collected some of the blood and his sight was immediately restored and a pious woman called Eusebia kept the blood in two small phials. 
Gennaro’s followers collected up his remains – as with all martyrs, these are considered to have hidden powers – and they buried them in a place called “Marciano”, maybe along the ancient hill road from Pozzuoli to Naples. It was only later that the Bishop of Naples, Giovanni I had the body of the martyr brought to the catacombs at Capodimonte, where the oldest image of the Saint was found, dating back to V century. 
The Saint’s blood is currently kept in two small ampoules embalming jars covered in different material in Duomo of Naples (The Cathedral).
San Gennaro's blood melts on the first Saturday of May, on 19th september and 16th december.

The protector of Naples painted at the entrance of Forcella looking up at the sky, invites tourists to cross the area remembered only for the feud. On the brown face of Gennaro, the gold and the red of the garments shine.

"Jorit" ... personally sought the perfect surface on which to paint the Saint and worked for free for a week from 8 to 20 on a mechanical arm made available by the Municipality.
