June 14. - 17. 2006.
The Feast of our Patron Saint Vitus started June 14. A series of photos about the event and above all the "Statio" by my Parish of St. Michael. Thanx to forioscribe for the courtesy to photograph the procession and the theatrical representation of the Martyrdom.

(I'm the chief, you have to be prepared!)
(So sweet like my incense)
(Oh, damn chains!)
(a symbolic floral gift, like my smile)
(the twins... but we are more than two!)
(Oh, yes! I'm able to count... one, two, three and, ehm...)
(me speaking about the musical organization with my parish priest Dom Pasquale)
(Let me see if all is ok...)
