Sicilian Fishermen Parade for Patron Saint Festival in Boston
The Sicilian fishermen of Boston celebrated the Lady of Good Help festival with a North End to West End parade. Dressed in navy uniforms, women carried long votive candles while a Virgin statue rode on a fisherman's shoulders under a canopy. Children portrayed the Nativity scene, with a pony carrying the Infant Saviour and a live sheep in tow. The event began with a high mass at the Sacred Heart Church and ended with a band concert and illumination. An open air shrine stood off North Square, decorated with taps and lights. The procession paused at Fleet and North streets for a brief Virgin intercession discourse by four white-dressed girls. Confetti fell and pigeons were released at the finale. Antonio Corao led as marshal, with assistants and three bands providing music.
