ITALY: ST. JOSEPH'S DAY
Saint Joseph is the beloved patron saint of many generations of Italians. On this, his feast day, the town of Pitigliano holds a festival. The townspeople offer prayers to Saint Joseph and then break into dancing and revelry in the piazza. At sunset children, teens, and adults dressed in sackcloth form a procession through town.
