On June 22, 2024, in Nola, Naples, Italy, crowds gathered for the Festa dei Gigli, a vibrant celebration steeped in centuries-old tradition. Shared by @cicciobooo, the festival commemorates Saint Paulinus' return to Nola after selflessly saving a citizen from slavery. The spectacle features eight towering wooden spires, each 25 meters tall and weighing 2500 kg, symbolizing the lilies (gigli) that welcomed San Paolino upon his return by boat.
