Higantes Festival 2007

Yesterday was my very tiring day, even now i still feel the pain(especially at my feet).
November 23 2007, Friday a very sunny day to celebrate the feast of St. Clement, which is our patron saint. I woke up very early for the con-celebrated mass together with my co-leaders (leaders are assigned to attend these mass), the mass finished smoothly and in order. After the mass we quickly remove are white shirt, black pants and black shoes (our uniform). We rapidly run to catch our line (a line only for knights) and join their celebration. I'm Waring green shirt which is our uniform for this Feast, a Big shades and a pair of Slippers. I see water every where, because in our tradition, if the feast day of St. Clement came, we splash buckets of water from those people who joined the parade. Here are some of pictures of it(In case you don't understand me). (CLICK THUMBNAILS TO ENLARGE)
