7/28/2019 Easter Traditions in Italy
1/5
Sicilian Easter traditionsSicily takes Easter very seriously. All over the island, in large towns and tiny villages alike, processions
weave their way through narrow streets, central thoroughfares and piazzas until finally they arrive at
the local parish church or Cathedral.
Easter also signals the arrival of Spring, and many pagan traditions that used to mark the arrival of the
"beautiful season" have been incorporated into the religious festivities.
For food lovers, Easter is a great time to come to Sicily: it is the time for Martorana, or Pasta Reale,
marzipan confectionary that is delighfully shaped and painted to resemble fruit of all types. With Easter
being a time for celebration, theCassata, Sicily's signature cake, made of sweetened ricotta chesse,
marzipan and candied fruit, graces tables all over the island. Fresh peas, fava beans and artichokes
combine wonderfully in "frittella", and thetuna fish seasongets underway...
Returning to the more sacred aspects of 'Pasqua', however, here are a fewinteresting events to
experience :
In the west
Probably the most renowned religious manifestations of devotion in Sicily are the "Mysteries" of
Trapanion Good Friday, in which the townsmen carry statues through the streets. Each statue
represents one of the stations of the cross and are all made by the various local guilds. Thousands of
Sicilians line the streets awaiting the arrival of the Virgin Mary "in search" of her son.

7/28/2019 Easter Traditions in Italy
2/5
Palermo and around
In Partanna-Mondello, a suburb ofPalermo, the Easter week is celebrated with costumed and
scripted recreations of Christ's arrival at Jerusalem (5.00pm on Palm Sunday), the Last Supper
(9.00pm on Maundy Thursday) and the Stations of the Cross (11.00am on the Saturday before Easter
Sunday). Thousands of locals attend these events and the atmosphere is one of great devotion.
Also of great interest, though not only at Easter, is the mountain town ofPiana degli Albanesi just
south ofPalermo. As the name suggests, Piana degli Albanesi was founded by Albanian immigrants
fleeing a Turkish invasion in 1488. Being somewhat isolated, the town has managed to maintain much
of its original identity and many of its traditions, one of which is its Orthodox Easter celebrations (it has
been a Greek Orthodox Bishopric since 1937). On Palm Sunday, there is a procession through the streets
to mark Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. Festivities continue all week until Easter Sunday when the
townsfolk put on their traditional 15th Century costumes and hand out previously blessed red hand-
painted eggs. After Mass there is the procession of the Holy Veil, a piece of cloth in which believers can
make out the face of Christ.

Another option is a trip to San Martino delle Scale, a small village hidden away in the mountains
just behindPalermo. Here, on Easter Monday, the monks of the Benedictine Monastery celebrate Easter
and the coming of Spring by freeing the birds they have saved from the harsh mountain winter. The
birds are kept in a large specially built aviary and their release is part of a tradition that goes back over
300 years. The arrival of Spring is also celebrated with concerts, enormous floral arrangements and
Gregorian chant, all of which create a wonderful festive atmosphere.
On Palm Sunday, Caccamo, a mountain town east ofPalermohosts a marathon procession called "U
Signuruzzu a Cavaddu". ( Christ on horse) .At 9.00am the bells of the many churches signal the
commencement of proceedings and an altar boy, riding a donkey, is accompanied through the streets by
the local band and 12 children dressed in red tunics, holding palm fronds. For three hours, the troupe
tours the town's churches, receiving, at each one, a tumultuous welcome.
Meanwhile in Prizzi, in the hills south ofPalermo, a very different event takes place on Easter Sunday -
The Dance of the Devils. Wearing red and black satanic masks complete with horns and grotesque
noses, a portion of the townsfolk wreak havoc, constraining passers-by to buy them drinks (a metaphor
for stealing their souls). In the struggle that ensues between good and evil, it is Christ and the Madonnawho triumph, along with other locals dressed as angels. During the ensuing celebrations the devils are
"forced" to get the drinks in and "cannateddi", a typical Easter cake, is distributed.
Catania and aroundOn Easter Sunday inAdrano, on the south-west flanks ofMount Etna, the triumph of good over evil -
as in Prizzi - is celebrated with the "Diavolata". In the central piazza a stage is erected and divided into
two parts: one devoted to Hell, inhabited by the Devil and five demons, and the other to Heaven. The
Diavolata is, in effect, a play in which an angel battles against the Devil, trying to make him and his
demons say the words "Viva Maria". The costumes are colourful and there are even some stage effects,
such as smoke and fire. The outcome of the struggle, seeing that it takes place on Easter Day, leaves
noone surprised.

In the south-east
In San Biagio Platani (in the province ofAgrigento) on Easter Sunday. Two religious factions deck
the town in colourful decorative arches made from all sorts of materials including vegetables and
cereals. Each group's work is prepared in absolute secrecy during the weeks leading up to Easter and
each attempts to outdo the other. The competitive spirit is, however, just a backdrop to the more
important celebration of the resurrection of Christ.
