Thanks for the posting. However, I believe that this photo is also in the Our Lady of the Angels-Saint Joachim parish's Centennial Hall and it represents the procession in honor of Saint Antimo. take a closer look at the image among the people. in the early years there were many processions in honor of the blessed virgin particular to towns of origin as well as processions in honor of the saints. thanks for keeping the memories at the forefront.
Peace.

HI TOM....THE FEAST OF LIGHTS AS I RECALL WAS TO HONOR THE MADONNA OF CASANDRINO. THAT WAS ALWAYS ON BUTLER ST ALONG WITH THE PROCESSION THROUGHOUT CHAMBERSBURG. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE FEAST IN ITALY WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH DELTA AIRLINES. OUR RELATIVES IN CASANDRINO WERE VERY ACTIVE IN THE FEAST AND I WITNESSED THE CELEBRATION WITH THEM. REGARDS. ALSO TOM, IN THAT PHOTO ABOVE, I WAS JUST ABOUT FIVE YEARS OLD AND ONE OF THOSE KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN ME. GOD BLESS THE OLD BURG.
