The feast commemorates a story about Bishop Paulinus of Nola, who, in around 410 AD, exchanged his life for that of a boy abducted into slavery by North African pirates. Word of his courage spread to a Turkish sultan, who negotiated for the bishop's freedom. Overjoyed by his safe return, the Nolani people greeted him with lilies (gigli) and his homecoming became an annually observed feast with elaborate displays of lilies.
