Good Friday



For the Easter holidays I'm back to Central-South Italy and yesterday I had an opportunity to see an ancient procession 'via Crucis' in Chieti.

It's said that it's the most ancient procession in Italy organized by fraternity 'del Sacro Monte'. The carried cross with 'Cristo morto' is followed by the statue of Madonna Addolorata and '7 mysteries of passion'. These are followed by 100 violinists and a large chorus and their canto is really giving some shivers, it's quite scary to see every member of procession with a hood - white, black or red... And of course there are lots of people (and you can't see anything!):)
