Since
1903, the Giglio Feast has been a part of Brooklyn's culture.
Early immigrants from Nolan, Italy wanted to preserve some
of their culture and pay homage to their San Paulino, and
started to celebrate The Giglio Feast every year. In 2002,
the Church will be celebrated the 115th Giglio Feast from
July 3rd to 16th. Some of the activities included the Rising
of the Giglio, the Giglio dance, the boat dance, candlelight
procession, singing of the Giglio song, rides, bazaar and
so forth. It is a highly awaited event by all Italians and
depicts the Italian culture and customs in New York City.
