The flu has a beginning stage and an end stage besides the days one stays in bed.

Is this the first time Sainte Devote was celebrated in the cathedral? It might have been mentioned in the video above, but my french is non existent. From the years before I remember that they burnt the boat - what is pretty viking like, but I have no memories of processions or a mass in the cathedral.

The burning of the boeat was always on the place of Sainte Devote on january 26th and on january 27th, there was always a solemn mass at the cathedrale of Monaco. Nothing changed.

On the previous pages of this thread, you'll find many more pics of the various ceremonies (burning of the boat, mass and procession) during the last years


Here are some more of this year's celebration:

@meline premiere and @Iceflower: Thank you for your clarifications. I was totally unaware of the extent of these celebrations. And I thought the high church had hijacked them. It is somewhat strange - at least for me - to see the Prince sovereign bow down before the Archbishop.

You are welcome, victor1319

I must have missed the fireworks displays in previous Saint-Dévote celebrations,its a nice touch.The Mass looks like quite a solemn ceremony with the wearing of mantilas on several of the ladies.

Thank you for your videos, @Iceflower! I am not so much into religion, but these are gorgeous celebrations for the protective patron of Monaco, Santa Devota. And honoring her - that can't do damage...

Watching Sainte Devote service live on Monaco Channel and Charlene is there.

Elisabeth-Anne and Mélanie de Massy also attended today's ceremony:
