This weekend marked the 90th annual St. Peter’s Fiesta in Gloucester. The festival is a celebration of the community’s commercial fishing, Roman Catholic and Sicilian traditions. The photos here document the procession that winds through the town as the faithful shout blessings as they carry statues and icons of saints.
