5:00 in the am morning and all around is dark. With sleepy face, but with the cheerful spirit, a large contingent of Knights of the Sea is waiting at the gate input of CUS Bari
Runners, started from the Pineta di San Francesco, there take about 20 minutes to get to the CUS. The Knights will join the running after their festive and brandishing up the torch in commemoration of the patron. Once in Piazza Massari meet the other group, the runners started from Largo June 2, and together they wander the winding streets of Old Town to the foot of the magnificent Basilica of San Nicola. Along with many fellow citizens who had gathered there, they receive the traditional blessing, then all disperse in a thousand streams of their thoughts.
The ritual of the procession is repeated on time Nicolaiana 28 years. This year the Knights of the Sea have dedicated their presence to the memory of Walter, the friend who died prematurely, that the torch was to be always a regular.
