Two days before the feast of Saint Michael starts on 29th September , a colourful procession takes place in the streets of the town of Monte Sant' Angelo. It beautifully reflects the three episodes of Saint Michael’s apparitions on Monte Gargano. It is possibly the oldest and most significant sanctuary dedicated to the Archangel, and the fifth mount dedicated to Saint Michael according to the Book of Enoch. Its history is based on De Apparitione Sancti Michaelis, which is is a hagiographical and composite foundation myth of Monte Sant’ Angelo, which is itself built at over 800 metres above sea level, on Monte Gargano, in the Italian region of Puglia. The original version of the Golden Legend is estimated even for the sixth century, so more or less one century after the described apparitions. Saint Michael appeared three times, in 490, 492, and 493. There are the so called three episodes of the narrative: the Episode of the Bull, the Episode of the Victory and the Episode of the Consecration.
