"Flight of the Angel"


This is the highlight of the Feast for many people. All day on Sunday, members of the Fisherman's club and their families carry the statue of the Madonna in a procession through the streets of the North End. When the Madonna returns to North Street late in the afternoon (see schedule of events), it is time for the grand finale. A young girl dressed as an angel will fly out of a third story window and down to the Madonna. After a short prayer she is raised back up into the window to the cheer of the crowd and showers of confetti.

The angels for the 100th annual Fisherman's Feast will be Diana Karamourtopoulis, Caira Rose D'Amico, Jessica Marie Palazzolo
