White, almost transparent filaments will have formed, the shape of which resembles that of unfurled sails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to tradition, open sails indicated the arrival of the sun, while closed, thin sails indicated the arrival of rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today the tradition of&nbsp;<strong>St. Peter&#8217;s boat<\/strong>&nbsp;is put into practice above all as a good omen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On&nbsp;June 29th,&nbsp;Saint Peter and Saint Paul&nbsp;are celebrated&nbsp;and, like any self-respecting anniversary, this too has its traditions linked to popular customs.
