Francesca Mistretta's video: Saint Anthony s 100th Anniversary Feast

Even though Saint Anthony is June 13th, the North End has kept Saint Anthony’s the closing feast of the summer for as long as I can remember. Poor Saint Lucy had the weak and miserable Monday night following Saint Anthony. We have been a couple of years in a row. We found a few people on that Monday night attending this feast along with the committee devoted to Saint Lucy. Finally as of last year 2018, Saint Lucy gets a roaring night with all the vendors out to also welcome ALOT more people.

The feast has been celebrated since 1919 when a group of Italians from Montefalcione settled in the North End of Boston.They began a society called the Sant'Antonio Di Padova Montefalcione which devoted their honor to their patron saint. People come from all across the world come to see the decorated streets and parade dedicated to St. Anthony. National Geographic christened St. Anthony’s feast as “The feast of all feasts”. The Italians wanted to keep their heritage strong in America so they continued to celebrate the feast as they did in Italy. In Italy it is common to celebrate festivals and feasts for the Catholic religion, each saint having their own day. This feast includes food and shopping stands, games for children, live performances, and a parade. Wikepedia!
