Photo Essay - Mt. Carmel's Procession in Honor of the Madonna Addolorata

On Sunday, September 20, the faithful from Mt. Carmel Parish in East Boston honored the Madonna Addolorata with a Mass, procession and liturgy. Each year, the local Catholics from the Italian church proclaim their devotion to the Virgin Mary of Sorrow. This tradition originates in Mirabella Enclano Avellino, Italy and is continued in East Boston through the efforts of local businessman Benito Tauro and countless others. The Roma Band accompanied the march filling the streets with religious and patriotic sound. The day's events raised over $3,000 for Mt. Carmel Parish. Photographs taken during the Chelsea Street segment of the procession.
