Hello to everybody; my name is Andrea Richichi and I live in Montepalma, a small area near Catania. here the Holy Week takes place as follows: it begins with the Palms Sunday, celebrating jesus Christ in Jerusalem. During the week there are many rites that take place according to the catholic tradition.
On friday there is the procession of the cross along the main streets of Montepalma which are: via Modena, via Livorno, via Napoli, via Bologna, via ferrara and via Genova.
Along the way of the procession people prepare some altars decorating them with sheets and white flowers. The priest of the parish "Cardinale Dusmet", Salvatore Cuccè blesses the altars.
On the Holy saturday there is the mass with the participation of many devotees among whom there are handicapped and sick people. Before the beginning of the solemn mass, the liturgy of fire is celebrated. The priest enters the church with a big candle and the religious procession begins. Everybody is given a candle which is lighted during the Mass.
Finally on sunday there is the Easter Mass.
