The Flight of the Angel was the highlight of the 103rd Fisherman’s Feast in honor of Madonna del Soccorso di Sciacca, held on August 18, 2013 in Boston’s North End. As the society members bring the Madonna statue home to North Street, two side angels on balconies recite an Italian devotion followed by the entrance of the flying angel from a third story window coming down to the street to meet the Madonna Del Soccorso Di Sciacca. At the end, confetti rains on the scene in an astounding street celebration. This year’s flying angel was Victoria Bono with side angels Serina D’Amico and Haley Graffeo Dufresne.
