PHOTOSTREAM: The Feast in Little Italy by Elisa Vietri

Fri 8/12-Mon 8/15

Many people think the annual Feast in Little Italy is about eating, drinking and elbowing through large crowds to get a listen to a Rat Pack tribute act. But it’s the Feast of the Assumption, a religious holiday celebrating the assumption of Jesus’ mother Mary into heaven.

And after all the eating and drinking, Holy Rosary Church celebrates with a mass and procession on the final day of the Feast. Our photographer Elisa Vietri was there Monday morning to capture this colorful ritual.
