Scenes from a procession

Today the procession with the statue of St Julian is held throughout the streets of the village, accompanied by marching bands, fireworks and lots of people and tourists mingling with each other. The village of St. Julian’s has become quite cosmopolitan and many foreigners have moved in the apartments that have erupted instead of old houses that have been demolished. I heard that 60% of the population now consists of foreigners, and the locals are moving away to other towns. But at least they all show up to celebrate the feast of their patron saint. The predominant colors are black yellow, and red, the colors of the Belgian flag since St Julian was from Belgium.
