uava "Flying Angels" Continues 117 Year Old Sicilian Immigrant Tradition

Italian-American immigrants and their families continue a 117 year old tradition that was transported to Chicago from of a village on the island of Sicily by the Society of Maria SS. Lauretana di Altavilla who first held their curious procession here in the year 1900:

"~ Its founding is rooted in folk lore that fishermen of Altavilla Milicia, Sicily found the painting of Her Holy Image floating in the sea untouched. When it was brought back, two neighboring towns claimed it belonged to them. To settle the dispute they put the picture on a cart pulled by two oxen and where they stopped was where the sanctuary would be built. Immediately, the oxen took to the highest spot in Altavilla and stayed there without food or water for three days. Since then, the people of Altavilla have held a feast over the first weekend of September in her honor.

To tell their story, men (fratelli) dress in fishermen’s garb on that Sunday and carry Her Holy Image on a ‘ship’ weighing close to two tons through the streets. On that same Sunday, the Society asks for Her protection with the traditional Flight of the Angels. Two girls are chosen to learn a customary Sicilian prayer that asks this of Our Lady and are ‘flown’ from a rope above the ‘ship’ dressed as angels from heaven. ~Santissima Maria Lauretana 2013 Flight of the Angels"
