I hear that the feast of Sts John and Paul will be on June 26/27 this year.Does anyone have any specific information of what happens during the celebration of these two saints. I heard there is a procession with the statues, but are there any other activities since it takes two days.Any information will be deeply appreciated.Thanks went to scondrone during summer of 1994. i remember a church service in italian (which i do not understand). after the service the statues are carried around. but, the evening is when the festivities really begin. there are lights hung overhead, music with a live band, and dancing in the main square/balcony area. hope this helps.
