Viva San Giorgio - St. Ubaldo Day 2007 in Jessup

[pmorgan1890]

this has to be the most gay town in pa goes to show u that people will make up some fuckin way that allows them to drink in public. dont bother going u will be board off your ass no word of lie waste of fuckin time. ps i hate Italians they have bo

[scamon01]

Yeah, they invented the race 800 years ago in Italy so we could drink in Jessup. Good one, chuck. I'll be sure to tell the 20,000 people who show up again this year that you think they're actually not having a good time. But by all means, don't come. If you do, be sure to introduce yourself.

[DavesTubeName]

scamon01....hilarious response. Good for you. pmorgan is a douchebag. Although I was born and raised in Eynon, I have lived and work in New York City for the past 15 years, so it's not as though I have a dearth of activities I can participate in. But the Saint Ubaldo Race weekend was always a high point of every year, a great time, and I hope I can get back to it soon.

[scamon01]

If you make it - ask for Sean on St. George. I'll buy you a brew. If I'm in any condition to recall this exchange.

Saluti da Gubbio...15 maggio 2009...giornata fantastica...w Sant'Ubaldo

[sfera666]

Grandi !!

[sebalittlenose]

This video is incredible! I think that is very beautiful this tradition!

I live in Gubbio and everytime I see,take and support my Cero I feel so happy and amazed! I want to come in Jessup to see your Ceri and the Ceraioli of Jessup! It will be fantastic!

[scamon01]

Grazi! When you come visit, ask for Camoni! We'll toast some vino!

I like the rock music...:D...yeah..also for me the music is very important...I live for music...but there are some "places" where rock(or raggae, rap etc.) music are "inappropriate"...don't it? Hello from Gubbio! ;-)

[scamon01]

I do not claim that we invented it, only that our fathers brought the candles to America, so we carry them. I understand that you don't like the rock music, and to be honest, I would probably never put that music under pictures of the race in Gubbio. It's different. But for us, the music means something different. No disrespect intended.

sai gubbio1 forse noi non dovremo neanche pensarci a questa pseudo-festa. Infondo l'abbiamo inventata Noi(parlo di noi perchè pur vivendo a perugia, sento molto forti le mie tradizioni). A me personalmente delle bandane non mi interessa...sentiranno caldo :D. Comunque credo che quella festa sia stata fatta per gli eugubini che non possono tornare a "casa" ogni 15 maggio. L'unica cosa che mi ha dato fastidio è la musica rock sotto "O lume della fede" e gli inneggiamenti stile concerto...

[bellissima78]

sono americana, nata a Jessup e i miei nonni sono nati a Gubbio. ora vivendo a Firenze...ma che dire, e` ovvio l'avete inventata. e si, questa festa non e` proprio la stessa che fanno a Gubbio, pero, come lo sai, noi americani facciamo tutto al nostro modo. ;) l'unica cosa k non mi piace e` che ci son tanti di Jessup che non sono mai andati a Gubbio...ne` in Italia, e si comportono in un modo stereotipico,tipo "Il Padrino".

cmq, in generale mi piace questo video xke` mi ricorda tanto casa mia...

[gubbio1]

lo so caro notthingam, ma mica gli hanno detto di mettersi sulla testa le bandane!!!

o peggio ancora nastri colorati!

[scamon01]

My Italian is very poor, but my town of Jessup has many immigrants from Gubbio and Perugia, from Umbria. My great-grandmother came from Perugia. We run to honor them and their home. Many people from Jessup, PA, USA are in Gubbio now, waiting for the original race. Thank you for watching my video!

[scamon01]

Grazi!

[gubbio1]

sete stati boni anche ad americanizza' la festapiu' bella che c'e' al mondo, ma n've potete almeno leva da la testa quelle strisce !!

[scamon01]

Grazi!

[writeroffthelake]

I lived in Jessup for 4 years in the '70's and always wondered if St. Ubaldo Day was still being celebrated. Glad to see that it is!

[scamon01]

Yep- Alive & well!

[pontiasse]

Very fine and exciting video. If god will want the next year I will participate at your "festa"! Se ci dicon se ci dicon che.........

Viva San Giorgio, viva Jessup, viva Gubbio, viva i ceri! Sergio

[scamon01]

You are welcome! Grazi!

[scamon01]

Who's your cousin? (PM if privacy is a concern)

[omegasaxyvideo]

Nicely done. (not too keen on the music, but I'm getting old LOL)

I remembering covering the race one year back in the 80's

[scamon01]

I remember you. You might have known my dad- Lou Camoni. Coached Valley View basketball. Thanks for the feedback.

[scamon01]

It's a thing of beauty, enna?

Thanks brother.

[leejd75]

Very well done. I live on Church...my house had a huge American flag on it!

[scamon01]

Thanks!

[scamon01]

There is no winner in Jessup either. I may have presented it in an unclear manner. The celebration at the end is only that the race is finished, and the difficult course is accomplished.  My family runs with San Giorgio, so I focussed on them. The voices in the background speak of being part of 800 years of history and a great family of tradition. Thank you for your feedback.

[scamon01]

I think I understand: The festa is on 15 Maggio in Gubbio, but we have it on Memorial Day weekend here so that many people from Jessup can go to Gubbio for the festa. Memorial Day is usually about two weeks after the Gubbio festa. It is the same festival, though.

[ciobi1984]

C'ha colpa chi ve ce l'ha portati i ceri a jessup... ma penso che anche quei 4 poretti emigrati non potevano pensà che sarebbe finita cossì... W San Giorgio!

[scamon01]

Immigrants from Gubbio and Perugia (I don't know exactly who) brought the statues and the tradition of the ceri to Jessup in 1911. They were very poor, but somehow they did it. Jessup was part of the coal mining communities of Pennsylvania, so they were hardworking people who loved their culture. I'm grateful they did! My Nona was from Perugia - Feliceta Ferri - her mother's family were the Marinangeli - Where are you from?

[ChessNetwork]

This video clip has captured a great deal of emotion! Well done!

~Jerry from Jessup!~

[scamon01]

Thanks! Glad your dog is home safe!

[ArcanaIntellego]

Ma questi stanno in America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Credevo che i ceri fossero solo a Gubbio!! e pensare che su youtube non c 'è un video fatto bene di Gubbio!

[scamon01]

We do carry the candles in Jessup- my great grandmother came from Perugia. Most of our town's grandparents came from Gubbio, Perugia, & other towns in Nochero Umbria! Thank you for your comments! I hope you like the video and I hope to visit Gubbio and see the ceri there. Thanks!

[ArcanaIntellego]

Wow! This a fantastic thing!! An Umbria's tradition goes to.. to? America? I don't know where is Jessup: I'd like to make an article in my perugiablog (by blogspot) I wait your answer

[scamon01]

We are in Pennsylvania, in the northeast mountains near Scranton. I sent you a message with more info. Thanks!
