Dancing of the Giglio

We went to the Dancing of the Giglio (Italian for "lily") in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NYC. The Giglio is an 80 foot tower of aluminum and paper mache topped by a statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The whole thing weights 4 and 1/2 tons and is carried, along with a band on a platform, on the shoulders of approximately 130 men who "dance" for 20 to 40 yards in a series of moves. They've been doing it for 100 years.
