Il Giglio di Nola a Lisbona - dal Tgr del 24/06

Among many folkloristic festivities, the Feast of the Gigli is without doubt one of the most spectacular. It's dedicated to the Bishop Paolino and its origins go back to the V cent. a.C., immediately after his death. The eight Gigli are very heavy wooden obelisks, 25 meters high and covered with imaginative and artistic papermache coverings: among them there is an imposing boat, with the Turk (Barbarian) in which remembers the sea crossed by S. Paolino for the return to his country. The Gigli and the boat are carried on the shoulders by a paranza of about 120 men who, guided by a capoparanza, with great skill make them dance, rotate and advance in involving march rhythm played by a fanfara who finds place on the Sunday following the 22 June (02.07.2006) when, until late in the night, and always in the traditional order, the Gigli cross the roads of the historical center, in the jubilation of the population and in the wonder of the tourists (not to lose on Sunday morning). Of particular interest also the Historical Procession of the Orsini and the Way of the Faith.

il giglio a lisbona lo dovremmo portare noi bruscianesi che facciamo la festa in onore a sant'antonio da padova nativo di lisbona, e non voi nolani,perchè ad oggi se i gigli li volete portare solo voi fuori dalla campania allora dovevano rimanere a nola e basta,ma invece il business dei soldi fa comodo...anche perchè il giglio a padova ce lo siamo costruito noi!!!! forza brusciano!!!!
