Each year the Italian community of Williamsburg, Brooklyn
reenacts a fourth century pageant which commemorates the
return of the Bishop of Nola, Paolino (Paulinus), from
captivity. His release from Moorish slavery was cause for a
great festival which became famous throughout Southern
Italy.
The same celebration has been celebrated here in Brooklyn
New York for the past 125 years at The Shrine Church of
Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Paolino was returned to his
people by boat, a Moorish Galleon with saracen crew. On the
shores of Nola, the joyous towns people held raised lilies in
their hands as a sign of homage to San Paolino.
Today this Moorish Galleon is reproduced and built in the
streets of Brooklyn. The Lily, or Giglio as it is called in
Italian, has been transformed into a giant tower colorfully
adorned with flowers and angels and topped with a statue of
San Paolino. Both structures are staffed with full orchestra
and singers providing entertainment, while three hundred
and fifty Italian-American men lift these structures through
the streets of our parish under the direction of a single man
called in Italian the “Capo Paranza” or “Capo”.
