FLIGHT OF THE ANGEL
In what National Geographic called “A Spectacle not to be missed” The Fisherman’s Feast closes with the annual “Flight of the Angel.”
After a day-long procession of the Madonna del Soccorso di Sciacca through the streets of the North End of Boston, members of the Fisherman's Club bring the Madonna statue to North Street where two angels on balconies on either side of the street recite an Italian devotion. This culminates in the entrance of the flying angel, descending from a third-story window to meet the Madonna, and concludes with a rainfall of confetti on the astounding street celebration below.
