MAY IS THE MONTH OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN. EVERYBODY ON
TWO SIDES OF THE STREET HOLD CANDLES IN A PROCESSION.
IN THE MIDDLE ARE YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS DRESSED AS
SAINTS. AT THE END OF THE PROCESSION IS A GIRL DRESSED
IN WHITE, CARRYING A CROSS. SHE'S CALLED ST. ALANA.
PROCESSION IS ALWAYS ENDING UP AT THE CHURCH. EVERY
NIGHT A PROCESSION FROM A DIFFERENT DISTRICT COMES
TO THE CHURCH. THEN EVERYBODY PRAYS AND THE GIRL IN
WHITE OFFERS A PRAYER AND PUTS HER CROSS ON THE ALTAR.
