ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
The mission of The Massapequa Giglio Association and Paranza Lupo is to ensure our 1,600 year old religious Festival of dancing the Giglio in honor of San Paolino di Nola is sustained in accordance with the traditions passed on to us by our ancestors as we strive to continue with the same spirit for future generations.
Lifting the Giglio
The Giglio Lift or “Dance of the Giglio” is the ceremonial process of lifting and carrying the structure through the festival. It’s a significant cultural tradition that involves teamwork, strength, and devotion, highlighting the importance of communal participation in the celebration.
