Te Deum laudamus!: Assumption 2006: Photo Post 20 (Procession)

I've decided to jump back in momentarily, after discovering that blogger was uploading at 3x the usual speed. Perhaps the loading problems, are simply traffic problems and with this being a holiday weekend in the USA, overall traffic is probably down.

The Night-time procession returns back to the Grotto area. Fr. Perrone goes to the sanctuary microphone, while the altar boys, sisters, and people gather around. But in my next post, you will see how Father called all those people to gather up closer. Consider that hundreds were seated under the trees 2/3 of the way back, and now they were trying to work their way up front.

All are singing Immaculate Mary. As they get to the "Ave! Ave! Ave! Maria!" - they raise their candles, which is what you see in many of these shots.

Click on any photo to enlarge it. With the darkness, there is more clarity in a larger view.

Te Deum laudamus!
