Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival revelers were robbed of the St. Patrick’s Cathedral iconic grand entrance steps this year, thanks to heightened security due to the political unrest casting a blanket all over the world at the moment. Not only was it missing the legendary elaborate floral arrangements at the imposing double doors where content driven influencers and multi generation families gather for pictures and videos, it was barricaded to prevent even a fly from getting near the steps, much less the door! Alas! If there’s one thing New Yorkers know how to do, it’s making the best out of a downer. Not even rain could keep us away from this parade!
Denizens from every sect of religion take part in this decades long tradition. The usual run of the mill with a few new faces showed up and showed out, dressed in their floral and work of art fineries. Some of which took hours, days and months in the making! They certainly weren’t going to let a few rain drops and forbidden church steps ruin their hard work.
As the saying goes, the show must go on, and that it did, one flower petal on bonnets at a time! We had a fantastic and memorable moments celebrating the end of the Holy Week and officially ushering in spring colors and vibes!
