Editing Paulinus of Nola (section)

==Modern devotion to Saint Paulinus==
The people of modern-day Nola and the surrounding regions remain devoted to Saint Paulinus.  His feast day is celebrated annually in Nola during ''La Festa dei Gigli'' (the Feast of the Lilies), in which Gigli and several large statues in honor of the saint, placed on towers, are carried upon the shoulders of the faithful around the city. In the United States the descendants of Italian immigrants from [[Nola]] and [[Brusciano]] continue the tradition in [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn#Feast of St. Paulinus and Our Lady of Mount Carmel|Brooklyn]]. This proud tradition is also kept alive in East Harlem, held on Giglio Way by the Giglio Society of East Harlem and on Long Island in West Hempstead with the Sons of San Paulino di Nola.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Posen |first1=I.
