A Look at the 125th Annual Feast of San Paolino di Nola in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Viva San Paolino!
The giglio danced its way through the throng
It was smooth sailing for San Paolino's boat
"The Sultan"
Faith, family and friendship keeps this time-honored tradition alive
The band kept festivities rolling
The sweltering heat did not dampen any spirits
A show of fidelity
As temperatures soared the paranza showed their true mettle
A feat of strength: Carrying a five story,
three ton tower for five hours is no small task
The St. Paulinus Society's standard
Some lifters show their devotion with tattoos
