I'm a Pagani's resident, and I'm really glad you did this video. Everything in this video is true, in the days of the festival it feels like we are all connected to our Mother (the Lady Virgins of Hens) I think all of you should came and see with your own eyes. Greetings from Pagani 💙
Thank you so much Pier Paolo - was very grateful to meet you in Pagani, and to read your kind comment. Unforgettable memories from Madonna delle Galline - a beautiful ritual. 🙏
Another fascinating film about this extraordinary place! I hope they get their full procession this year..Thank you Ruairi for recording this amazing cultural festival.
Thank you so much Anne for watching, and for all the support! My bets are on the procession being bigger and better than ever in 2023 - the passion is stronger than ever before! 🙏
I hope that this year you will come, precisely because I am from Pagani and I will wait for you here, I hope to meet you, you are welcome as always, a big hug, I am waiting for you, A big hug from Franco Tiano's nephew, my name is Antonio Tiano, thanks for talking about my uncle... ❤️❤️❤️
Astute observation made: The church proposes the solution to the problem yet it is the cause of the problem. Kind of like government. Ruairi, there's a book called "The Queen of Heaven," written in the nineteenth century by an unfortunate Methodist missionary stationed in the Naples area. He was absolutely aghast and beside himself at what was Christian "religion" in Naples, and described the festivals of Candelora, La Madonna Nera of Avellino, and this festival. He claimed it was paganism and not Christianity. He has to be given some consideration as he was Protestant, and didn't understand or condone "worship" of the madonna at all in the first place, and that such worship should take place in a Christian country caused him a great deal of grief. A book's worth. The feminelle, or men dressed in women's clothing, present at these festivities goes back to ancient times. The goddess Cybele was worshipped with tambourines by a cult of men who are said to have, in frenzy of worship, castrated themselves and carried on her ministry, I guess you could call it. (Reminds me of when I was researching madonnas and a flock of priests threw me out of the cathedral in Siracusa when I arrived a day too early for the procession and had to leave that night. They wouldn't let me even peek at the madonna they were protecting who was in the next room.) Today this is transgenderism, and, recently, some of the transgender community have been joining the people worshipping the madonna. Thanks for this video. Just some thoughts.

I find it difficult watching films where people wear those ridiculous pointless masks.
Italy was hit hard by the covid pandemic. They know the importance to minimize risks.
Why leave a useless comment on a story about something else?
