the word Mafia was "coined" in a revolt that occurred after a French soldier raped a Palermo woman on her wedding day on Easter Monday 1282. A large group of Sicilian men retaliated and killed the French soldier. As the news of the retaliation spread around, other Sicilians grouped together in town after town killing thousands of French. The word Mafia" became the Sicilian’s battle cry, taken from the raped girl’s mother, who ran through the streets shouting "ma fia, ma fia", my daughter, my daughter.
