Madonna Delle Grazie of Avellino, Italy was honored on Sunday, July 10th, at the annual procession in Boston’s North End. The society was founded in Boston in 1903 from San Sossio Baronia Avellino. Featuring the North End Marching Band and the Northeast Italian Band, devotees to the Madonna started at St. Leonard’s Church at the corner of Hanover & Prince Streets and made their way through the neighborhood with many stops along the way. Madonna delle Grazie (Our Lady of Graces) is a devotion to the Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic Church. Photos by Matt Conti.

Fabulous photos, Matt. I especially love the saint’s curls and her $100 bills.
Heartwarming to see so many young people involved in the North End processional traditions.
