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.
