==The Feast== The Feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian is an Italian/ American festival in honor of the Catholic Saints Cosmas and Damian. It is an annual, two-day event that thousands of people attend each year in Cambridge and Somerville, MA. The feast typically takes place the weekend after Labor Day.
Just like other Italian feasts in the area (like Saint Anthony's Feast and the Fisherman's Feast), large life-sized statues of the saints are carried by members of the Saints Cosmas and Damian Society down the local streets. As the procession moves along, the saints are stopped at each house, where people put money and gold on the statues. By the end of the festival, the statues of the saints are filled with money and gold.
As the statues of the saints are carried down the streets of East Cambridge and Somerville, they are greeted with fireworks, confetti, and balloons. Before the saints are carried away from each house, they are lifted three times by the carriers to bless the home.
There are also many concessions on the streets of the feast that are also open to the public. Venders sell food, items, souvenirs, games, and more. Also, carnival rides are set up on the local streets.
