The sound of the bells joined to the roar of fireworks that light up the night sky darkness in the Sonoran Desert give the start to the Fiesta de Tumacacori to honour the patron of the San Xavier del Bac Mission, San Francisco Xavier. In the video, the sound of the bells that break the silence of the night join the glow of the fireworks that pierce the darkness.
