Procession of San Felice
from August 29, 2000

The first procession by night :
About 10 in the evening, the festivities start with the procession of saint Felix in the light of the candles through all the village. The Saint is then left at the church (1) : it is a important emotional moment for all the persons who attend there.
The procession takes place in silence to the knolling of the church bells. The parish priest sings while his voice is relayed by loudspeakers carried by children (2,3). A great religious enthusiasm emerges from this procession, strengthened by the night atmosphere.
The course is longer and different from that of the procession of the next day but that allows everyone to see the passing of the Saint.
Thus some old persons of the old people's home near the capelle saw the procession (3) .
It is only towards midnight that the procession finishes while returning to the church, a Mass celebrated by the priest of the parish will continue.
Silence is also customary at the time of the return of the Saint in the church to take up again its initial place while but applause greets the priest of the parish at the time of his entry in the church.
