BROOKLYN NY,
July 21 – A block
from the Brooklyn Queens
Expressway a four story tall,
four ton monument was carried
through the streets on Sunday,
accompanied by trumpet players
covering Frank Sinatra's New
York, New York.
It was the
annual Festival of the Giglio,
which commemorates Saint
Paolino of Nola substituting
himself in slavery for a
widow's only son in 409
A.D.
The feast, held
in front of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel church in Williamsburg,
was not held in 2020 due to
COVID. But it's back, and on
Sunday the sausages were
frying, the Manhattan Special
coffee soda was cold and the
head men - called Capos - came
down the church steps
dramatically when their names
were called.
This was mid
afternoon on July 21, just as
from Delaware Joe Biden
announced online that he was
withdrawing from the
Presidential election. Inner
City Press, marching with the
capos under the giglio, put up
a video, here
some questioned the
connection. Watch this site.
