ABSTRACT This article focuses on the ethnographic case study of a festival revival observed in Celano, a hill town in Abruzzo (Italy). On 17 January, in accordance with the Catholic calendar, the community celebrates the feast of Saint Anthony the Abbot. In the folkloric iconography, the Saint is strongly connected with animals, specifically the pig, which is even represented with him in the sacred effigy. While in the past a more complex ritual was performed, what is central nowadays in the ‘re-invented’ tradition is the food sharing involving the whole community. On the feast night, a huge fire is set on the central square, and people flock around it, eat roasted pork sausages and drink wine. In the article, I discuss how the current ritual pork-sharing is emically maintained as a tradition to preserve the community’s identity, and how this enacts and reshapes the global–local dynamic.

神圣的猪。意大利塞拉诺圣安东尼节的祭祀食物分享

摘要本文重点介绍了在意大利阿布鲁佐（Abruzzo）山区小镇塞拉诺（Celano）观察到的节日复兴的人种学案例研究。1月17日，根据天主教的日历，社区庆祝了方丈圣安东尼的盛宴。在民间肖像画中，圣徒与动物特别是猪有很强的联系，在神圣的雕像中甚至与他在一起。在过去，人们执行了更为复杂的仪式，而如今，在“重新发明”的传统中，最重要的是整个社区的食物共享。在盛宴之夜，中央广场上燃起了大火，人们蜂拥而至，吃着烤猪肉香肠和喝了酒。在本文中，我讨论了如何按照惯例维护当前的猪肉共享仪式，以保留社区的身份，
