104th Annual Festival Honoring Maria SS Lauretana Society of Altaville Micilia
This festival and it's tradition began in Altaville Micilia, Sicily. It was first brought here to America in 1900 when the procession and the "Flying of Angels" made it way to the near north Chicago neighborhood of Cabrini Green.
In recent years this tradition is continued every Labor Day Weekend in the western suburb of Berwyn, Illinois.
The Maria Santisima (S.S) Lauretana Society
is composed of three groups:
The "Deputazoine", who administer the festival wear yellow; The "Sorelanza", the Womans Guild, wear maroon dresses; and "The Fratalanza" or Brotherhood, or "The Maroons", who's job it is to carry the shrine.
The music was supplied on scene by the Sicilian Band of Chicago, who accompanied the shrine through the fest.
