We knew that we had to be at the chapel by 4.00 a.m., however, we were a little surprised to hear the bells ringing just after 3.00! It didn't seem to make much difference because there were still a few parties in progress as we walked down the road.The fire was being organised beside the main road for all to see, though I have to admit that at that time of the morning even the bus traffic was minimal.
As we walked to the chapel we joined
up with the young dancers, their costumes are so colourful and you could tell that they are extremely proud to be wearing them, even at four in the morning!
The actual dancing is amazing, lots of swirling, swaying and high stepping - all in unison - as they moved around the Easter fire. It is a pity that the photo of the young men is not clearer as they have three bells attached to
each leg and the effect is fantastic.
After the dancing we all processed with Fathers Horvito and Nappa and the Easter Candle into the Montenegro chapel.
