On Sunday evening at the 2011 Feast of Saint Agrippina Di Mineo, there was the traditional “Tug of War” between the two sides of the famous statue. Then, it was the “Dance of 20 Men” on Hanover Street which concluded with everyone dancing around Saint Agrippina. Both ceremonies are shown in the above video.

This was very emotional for me. I haven't seen this in years and can't fight the feast crowds anymore. So glad to see it here and the young people keeping up traditions.
