St. Joseph's Day in PM






A huge tent was raised in the town square to celebrate St. Joseph's Day, patron saint of carpenters, the working person, and even those buying and selling homes......so we had a tip of the hat to St. Joseph for our quick sale at home.....!










The priests came out from the church and did mass for the assembled followers, and the outdoor service was well attended.











After the service, the whole evening was devoted to traditional dances. There were tiny dancers, teen dancers and adult dancers, all in their regional finery.










This was quite a large troup.....these local kids practice for weeks for these shows.....and have such fun!!




Especially the littlest ones...........

This is the daughter of a shopkeeper on the square...very serious in her fancy dress......

And this little muffin was the smallest of all, and didn't miss a step......!
