Feast of the Assumption in Little Italy

The Virgin Mary is paraded down the street in Little Italy to commemorate the Feast of the

Assumption in Little Italy in Cleveland, Ohio. The day was hot and humid and the crowd

was so happy to see the statue arrive in the street carried by the men of the Holy Rosary

Catholic Church.

the middle of the day, but by early evening the crowd thickened in anticipation of the

Virgin Mary procession in front of Holy Rosary Catholic Church.

The ladies of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church serve traditional Italian food in front of the

church. They were busy all day keeping the tummies of everyone full!

Holy Rosary Catholic Church is very proud and has just refurbished their bell tower. They rang the

bells several times during the day. They sound beautiful!
