Feast Day--The Video · Jun 14, 09:59 AM by James Martin

I wanted to give you a little idea of the ambiance of a small village’s feast day in Italy. The celebration was Sacro Cuore di Gesù. So, as Francesca explained, our saint is, in essence, Jesus himself.

I’ve kept my voiceover out of the video and have used a few text overlays to explain the essence of what’s going on. You won’t find a livelier bunch, I think. I’m extremely proud to be able to live amongst these folks, so here we are: a 2 minute video of a 4 hour lunch in the Lunigiana:

The town was decked out in lights, and later that night there was a religious procession smack in the middle of the main highway through town, and, of course, tables of food to come back to placed in the parking lot in front of the church.
