Has it really been 5 years today since I wrote about the festivities in certain Belgian villages celebrating Joseph on his name day -- the tradition of going to mass followed by a candle procession to the chapel?  I went back today to the little village of Testelt in northeastern Flemish Brabant, hoping the tradition had continued.... 
I was not disappointed.
