The Annual Procession at Novena was held on 4th Sept 2011. It was crowded as usual, every year it’s crowded, this year I think they managed to get more people up into the terraces. It was great weather, not to hot and there was a gentle breeze. I went early to get a spot but seeing the crowds, I decided to stay back a little. There were people everywhere even across the road. This year’s booklet with the message “Blessed Are You”
There was also the electric candle that were being sold and I got mine a couple of weeks back, bought a couple for my parents and sister as well. It’s a ice little battery operated candle that flickers like a real one I figured it would be good for the alter with the 2 small ones around, no fire hazard. Anyway we were told to bring the candles and we had them lit, great for reading too once the sun went down.
I have been going to the 9 weeks novena and the procession for a couple of years now, and when the little kids grow up, definitely will bring them to attend one day. Its about 3 hours long (6 to 9pm) so they are too young now. But one day will bring them for the procession.
