The Madonna Della Cava Society of Boston’s North End held their 98th annual feast on the weekend of August 10-12, 2018. The MDC society brought out the image of Maria SS Della Cava, Principal Patron of Pietraperzia, Sicily, and processed until dark throughout Boston’s North End.
The society honors Maria SS Della Cava, Principal Patron of Pietraperzia, Sicily. Her image was rediscovered miraculously in the year 1223 by a mute from Trapani who was directed by Our Lady to proceed to the outskirts of the town where her portrait would be found. In the process, his speech and hearing were restored. The first words emitted by the mute were, “VIVA MARIA SS DELLA CAVA.” Read more at the society’s website, MadonnaDellaCava.com.
It seems that the Della Cava Society can never catch a break with the weather for their Feast.
Yes, but it did Hold out for the most part for the procession, which is the important part.
True these people work so hard all year long and it is the most important part of the Feast.
Ik luckily the weather holded up, that banner can easily blow away and get wicked wet, I remember the 2008 feast that Sunday got washed off. Michael D and Michael G
