Fête de l'Assomption
August 15th, Feast of The Assumption for Catholics around the world, is un jour férié (holiday) throughout France. I just happened to catch this procession as it wound its way down rue St. Antoine and across Place Bastille. A number of priests, church officials and several thousand pilgrims followed behind respectfully singing hymns in praise of the Virgin Mary.
