A large crowd attended a special Mass in the Sicilian town beside the waters where the British superyacht Bayesian capsized and sank with the loss of seven lives a week ago.
Locals from the small fishing community of Porticello, close to Palermo, gathered on the evening of Sunday 25 August at the Chiesa di Maria Santissima del Lume – Church of Most Holy Mary of the Lamp – to mark the tragedy and pray for those impacted.
“It was a heartfelt gesture of grief and mourning from a town that lives off fishing and knows all too well the dangers of the sea,” reports the Daily Telegraph.
