ninna nanna del 1761 a San Marco..

this the best part (for me) of the Novena in San Marco d'Alunzio when all men start to sing an old ninna nanna  wrote by Giacomo Dorsa in 1761, they represent the shepards and the very antiques words sing the ninna nanna from the Vergin Mary to Jesus,,,,,,,it is intense, strong, very emotioning.

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!
