The Prince Family of Monaco Celebrates Feast of St John

Albert II, the Sovereign Prince of Monaco, his wife Princess Charlene, and their children: Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, watched from the palace's balcony the Festivities of Saint John as fire illuminated the palace night. 

These festivities in the Principality of Monaco celebrate faith, folklore, and community. Every year, Monaco prepares to celebrate the Feast of Saint John, a festival of fire, light, and shared cultural heritage.

For a state where Catholicism is deeply entrenched into its life, this kind of religious festivity is a moment of unity between the community and its citizens.
