A session was held in August , the next one is scheduled from 19 to 25 August The rite actually consists of four elements: Mysteries procession: each of the four quarters of the town organize a parade of "mysteries" religious scenes with characters in costume from the Old and New Testaments, and Lives of Saints. Choirs - each quarter also forms a choir that joins the processions.
Traditionally formed by unmarried girls, more recently the choirs include married women, and occasionally men. The choristers wear white costumes, crowns of thorns, and braided cords around their shoulders. Penitents procession: several flagellanti "flagellants" join in striking their backs with a metal scourge. On the Sunday procession is joined by several hundred battenti "beaters" who strike their chests with a "spugna" a disk of cork holding dozens of pins.
The "flagellanti" and "battenti" are anonymous, wear white hoods and cannot tell family members they are participating. Statue procession: The rite ends with the procession of the Madonna and Child statue through the town. Please specify a location. Route planner Maps Map of Guardia Sanframondi. Add to favourites.
