In Montesano Salentino, province of Lecce, San Donato is celebrated every year, on 6th and 7th August. It is not just an occasion for prayer: the saint frees the mentally ill and epileptics, and the cult becomes a collective mystical delirium. But the healing does not last forever: every year they must return. The saint keeps them bound for life.
