| THE FEAST OF ST. PIO DA PIETRELCINA 2004 This, as what follows, is an 
            image of the "festa" in honour of San Pio from Pietrelcina who, after 
            rising to the Glory Of the Altar, is now commemorated by the faithful 
            ones with a night procession which takes place during the evening before 
            to the "fest" of St. Vincenz. Is a remarkable torch-light procession 
            that, wind allowing, allows going through the town streets supporting 
            a lit candle. Here we see the church-square where the band, waiting 
            for the statue of the saint to exit, tunes up one of its characteristic 
            passages. On a duly organized table, there are candles which each faithful, 
            upon leaving the church, will take with him in procession. |
