FEAST OF THE HOLY GHOST

2013 FEAST OF THE HOLY GHOST

In Stonington and throughout

the world, the feast centers on the religious ceremony during which the

crown and scepter are blessed and the symbolic crowing takes place,

recalling the descent of the Holy Ghost upon Queen Saint Isabel

centuries ago. After the coronation, the people joyously partake in the

feast at the grounds of the Holy Ghost hall with music and traditional

foods. The afternoon on Sunday is filled with the auction of locally baked

sweetbread, seafood, and other specialties. Finally as the evening

arrives, the celebration concludes with the drawing of the seven people

whose homes will be blessed by the crown and scepter during the coming

year and the selection of the sponsor of the following year's feast.
