 too cute! by sue_stone
And not only are they cute, they are sensible too - particularly in a city like Lucca that has narrow streets and limited parking - the smaller the car the easier your day to day motoring is.
Now, just make sure you don't do too much shopping though....

 Procession in San
Freaidano by illudiumqh36Leave a Comment

The most treasured religious object in Lucca is Volto Santo, which is kept in a shrine at The Cathedral od San Martino. The painted wooden crucifix has a darkened face and is reputed to have been given to Nicodemus by angels, and arrived in Lucca after long and tortuous travels. It is greatly revered, and on the eve of the feast of Santa Croce it is processed from the church of San Frediano back to its resting place at the Cathedral by candlelight. During the preceeding days there are vigils in the Cathedral with much devotion, singing and prayers.
The procession itself has both religious aspects, as there are frequent stops for prayers as well as hymn singing, but also homecoming and reunions as Lucchese scattered around the world return to march with their home parishes. Leave a Comment
