4th Annual Blessing of the Bikes
I saw an event that I thought would be interesting, so I went. It was the 4th Annual Blessing of the Bikes at St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland. It was in the courtyard of the Cathedral. They served cookies & lemonade, had a written program and on the back was a sticker (for your bike if you like) of Patroness of Bicycling, Madonna del Ghisallo or Our Lady of Ghisallo. They also blessed all bike riders and those who died in bicycling accidents this past year. There were about 50 cyclists and even two Bicycle Police Officers.
