This Saturday was the feast of St. Anthony (of Padua, I think). (Anthony, you keep your hands to home!).
On that day, women (mostly) go to his church and leave a red ribbon on the saint. We had to write our names on the ribbon, make 13 knots in it, and say some prayers. After you put your red ribbon on St. Anthony, you can light a candle and voila! you have a husband! At any rate, Gabi, Rebecca and I all did it, so we´ll see what happens. There were tons of women there. There was also a general fair, with rides, lots of food, and some cool pennants flying around the church. We walked and walked to get there, so I hope it was worth it! Incidentally, there were a few men there too, putting up ribbons.

Were there lots of men outside the church? You'd think an event like that would attract a lot of shoppers.
