I was sitting at the computer when I heard the sounds of a Trani religious parade. These processions down the streets of town with priests and widows and the figure of the Madonna happen quite often. It really emphasizes the roll the catholic church has on the daily lives of southern Italians. I have no idea what the procession is about but it is really a unique sight.

May is the month of Mary and May 13th is the 1st time the children saw Our Lady of Fatima (Mary) in Fatima (France or Portugal I think)
