Taking the Mystery Out of Boston History
SAINT ANTHONY’S FEAST B
rought to Boston by Italian immigrants from the small mountain town of Montefalcione, Saint Anthony’s Feast has been celebrated with the same European flair for the past 100 years. To honor their patron saint, the originators formed the non-profit religious and cultural organization San Antonio Di Padova Montefalcione Inc. to keep their heritage alive in the Hub. Since 1919, Saint Anthony’s Feast has traditionally been held in the streets of the North End on the weekend of the last Sunday in August. Celebrated all over the world, Saint Anthony of Padua is one of the most popular and beloved saints in the Catholic religion. Ever lost your keys? Pray to Saint Anthony to help you find them, as he is referred to as the “finder of lost articles.” Today, his feast celebrates his legacy with parades, religious services, Italian cuisine for sale from more than 100 pushcarts, live music, contests, cooking demonstrations and beautiful displays of admiration throughout the North End. The highlight is the 10-hour procession of the statue of Saint Anthony through the colorfully decorated streets of the North End, accompanied by devotees, marching bands and floats. It is then

Bostonians, Italians and non-Italians alike come together to honor Saint Anthony, while celebrating the end of summer in the city at what is now the largest Italian religious festival in all of New England. Join the revelry this year from August 22–25 and experience what no less than National Geographic has declared as the “feast of all feasts.” —Melanie Potter

Fondée en 1630, Boston est l’une des plus anciennes villes des États-Unis et a été la scène de nombreux événements clés pendant la Révolution américaine, la Boston Tea Party, la Chevauchée de Paul Revere et la bataille de Bunker Hill. Pourtant, son histoire est juste une des nombreuses raisons pour lesquelles plus de 19 millions de visiteurs voyagent ici chaque année. Aujourd’hui Boston est connue pour ses collèges et universités de renommée mondiale, des équipements culturels exceptionnels, des institutions médicales supérieurs des industries de haute technologie et de la biotechnologie en plein croissance. La meilleure façon d’explorer Boston est tout simplement de marcher. La ville est souvent dénommée comme une « ville de quartiers », et chacun d’eux a sa propre personnalité distincte mieux découverte à pied. Back Bay, le quartier le plus élégant de Boston, est un charmant mélange d’ancien et de nouveau, le foyer de monuments historiques importants tels que la Bibliothèque Boston Public, Copley Square, la rue branchée Newbury Street, les deux plus hauts bâtiments-200 Clarendon (anciennement la tour John Hancock ) et le Prudential Building - et deux des plus belles artères résidentielles de l’Amérique, Commonwealth Avenue et Marlborough Street. 12
