A week-long celebration in honor of Saint Julian will reach their culmination tomorrow Sunday, with the procession along the streets of the village with the statue of St Julian. Various Masses were celebrated this week for various groups, like the youth, the elderly, children, members of religious organizations, etc.
Streets are decorated with banners and other smaller statues. The predominant colors are black yellow and red, the Belgian flag, since St Julian came from Belgium. He lived in the 9th century.
