The mooted idea of limiting stops during the May procession and preventing the faithful from touching the statue of Sant'Efisio has already raised eyebrows among the mayors of Capoterra, Sarroch, Villa San Pietro, and Pula. They have protested the decision, which could forever change the tradition associated with the cult of the Warrior Martyr.

The goal is to protect the original statue, which in 2027 could even be replaced with a glass-resin copy during the May procession.

"I'm quite perplexed," admits Walter Cabasino, mayor of Pula . "I understand the need to preserve the statue, but we must remember that this is a celebration for the people, who await the saint's arrival as they would a member of the family."

Angelo Dessì, mayor of Sarroch : "Nearly 400 years of history and devotion can't be erased with a single stroke of the pen. It's right to protect the statue, but keeping it locked in the carriage for all four days is a slap in the face to tradition."

Beniamino Garau, mayor of Capoterra : "Preventing the faithful who await the arrival of Saint Efisio all year from even touching his cloak is unacceptable. I also consider the idea of replacing the statue with a fiberglass copy inappropriate."

Marina Madeddu, mayor of Villa San Pietro : "Touching the saint is a sign of devotion."
