Now listening again with the script.
St Dominic lived a town called Cocullo in the 11th century. At that time there were many snakes in the village and a lot of people died of snakebite. Saint Dominic expelled the snakes and the people of Cocullo hold this festival, on the first Thursday in May, every year to remember him.
For some weeks before the festival, people collect snakes and then, on St Dominic’s Day, they put all the snakes on a statue of St Dominic. At midday, they carry the statue and the snakes in a procession through the village. At the front of the procession is a band playing music and at the back are women in costume who give sweets and bread to the people who are watching.
At the end of the procession, there are fireworks
