Gypsies arrive from all over Europe a few weeks before the main festival days, the 24th and 25th May.  The pilgrimmage is Catholic but many Gypsies, Manouche, Gitans, Roma come to see their patron 'Saint Sara' and for the festival atmosphere, the yearly gathering of friends, the music and dance. Gypsies are still regarded with much distrust and racism, they are not liked by the shopkeepers but are well treated by the gentry, especially the Baroncelli family who were instrumental in making this officially a Gypsy festival. One Hundred years ago the Gypsies were not allowed into the church, as it is they still have to camp outside the town.

  • Gitans from the Baptiste family pray to Sara the Gypsy Saint and the Saint Maries, at the Gypsy Pilgrimmage of Saintes Maries de la Mer. Camargue, France 1998..Roma Gypsies left Rajasthan in India a thousand years ago, in the ninth and tenth centuries. They were pushed west by the Ottoman Muslim Empire as it moved through Persia towards the frontiers of Europe. They entered Europe in the foutrteenth century and were slaves in Romania and Moldavia until the mid 1850s. There are about 15 million Roma gypries in the world, about 12 million who live in Europe. they are Europe's largest ethnic minority. They have rich traditions and culture, their own language. They are renowned for their prowess in music and dance; they are also skilled craftsman, metal roofmakers, silver and goldsmiths. Their traveling and nomadic lifestyle which grew from a necessity to find work, and because they were often moved on from one place to the next, has given them both a liberty but also marks them as different and they are often feared by sedentary peoples, who label and scapegoat them. They are hardy survivors and live in the brunt of racism and prejudice, often marginalised, living in poverty, without proper human rights afforded to them..

Roma Gypsies victims of racism and discrimination, often forcibly evicted or moved from one camp to another, marginalized, living on the periphery of urban centres. The Roma Gypsies originated from India where they left over a thousand years before. Tribes moved across Euroasia eventually arriving in Europe in the 14th century. They have survived 500 years of slavery and persecution. They moved from place to place, often nomadic in search of work. Now many live in container camps, some are unemployed, others work the markets, or import export. Rome, Italy.

  • Gitans from the Baptiste family pray to Sara the Gypsy Saint and the Saint Maries, at the Gypsy Pilgrimmage of Saintes Maries de la Mer. Camargue, France 1998..Roma Gypsies left Rajasthan in India a thousand years ago, in the ninth and tenth centuries. They were pushed west by the Ottoman Muslim Empire as it moved through Persia towards the frontiers of Europe. They entered Europe in the foutrteenth century and were slaves in Romania and Moldavia until the mid 1850s. There are about 15 million Roma gypries in the world, about 12 million who live in Europe. they are Europe's largest ethnic minority. They have rich traditions and culture, their own language. They are renowned for their prowess in music and dance; they are also skilled craftsman, metal roofmakers, silver and goldsmiths. Their traveling and nomadic lifestyle which grew from a necessity to find work, and because they were often moved on from one place to the next, has given them both a liberty but also marks them as different and they are often feared by sedentary peoples, who label and scapegoat them. They are hardy survivors and live in the brunt of racism and prejudice, often marginalised, living in poverty, without proper human rights afforded to them..
