A festival of husbands

Don´t forget, God is Love! I love the neon. There is lots of neon here in churches.
This is the front of the church of St. Anthony of Padua, where they have the husband festival. His feast day is June 13.

These guys were playing drums, horn and some other big drum. They made lots of noise.
It was a beautiful day, and these pennants were whipping on top of the church, for the festival.

Here is St. Anthony. We wrote our names on ribbons, and then put 13 knots in them, and prayed for a husband, or love. Then we hung them on St. Anthony. Here he is! There was quite a crowd.
Here are all the candles everyone lit. The guy to the side is scooping out broken votive holder parts, that broke on account of all the heat.
Another view of St. Anthony.
