The secret prsayer, however, can only be revealed to a believer on Christmas Eve after Sunday. It is a Calabrian chant, a bit scary in its words, but it is Christian in root. I can give you the prayer on Christmas Eve if you want, but it can only be revealed to another on that night only after sundown, so you must promise to not improperly reveal it. otherwise the prayer will be useless. I was cured many a time by my grandmother and cumarra. The prayer is in the calabrian dialect, and difficult to translate even if you are good at speaking italian. I will translate if you so request. Use the prayer wisely only to rid someone of the mal occhio (evil eye), which is inflicted upon someone out of jealousy, sometimes not intentionally. The mal occhia prayer will not cure diagnosed illnesses, only the one described. Follow Ups:
