on the 2nd January,,,San Basilio return to his original Church

Today was a feast in San Marco where many men are named Basilio...the celebration is very very long because  they carry the heavy statue along the road around the Town up and down and returning back every20 mt, for few meters, the fantastic music of the Band precede the procession and "all the inhabitants" follow the Saint with big partecipation,,,,

tonight in San Marco

"Novena"  nine days and an amazing partecipation of hundreds of peoples, youngs start to play Christmas music at 3 am, they meet for fun, then seriously job... play around the Town, I weak...or I still wait....it is cold

but I "want " to be part of this unique and finally different way to feel Christmas atmosphere, how they maintain traditions and way of life, at 5 am the Mass, the Church run over of praying peoples...youngs, women....the end is emotioning....all men stand in the back making a corus of a very intense pray to the Vergin Mary, I wish to register this night!
