The waters around the Mediterranean island of Gozo are entirely free of jellyfish. This phenomenon is attributed by locals to a first century miracle performed by St Paul. Whilst wading through jellyfish-infested waters to board a boat to Malta, Paul was repeatedly stung and forced to pee on his feet to relieve the pain. Today, in the Basillica di San Paulo on Gozo pilgrims can see a vial of Holy Urine, which the devout believe banished the jellyfish. On the fifth day of Lent each year the vial is emptied over the feet of the Mayor and miraculously refills itself.
