Happy Easter>> Misteri Trapani Good Friday

Semana Santa

 

It's a mystery what man can not explain. In medieval times, when we used to represent episodes of faith taken from the Old and New Testaments, with the name "mystery" they wanted to make it even more mystical event. www.egadistar.it From here stems also secular, but always present “Processione dei Misteri” in Trapani. Since the fifteenth century in Spain the "Teatro de los misterios, these scenes represent the Catholic people in procession. These traditions of impact arises for people in Sicily during the Iberian domination (1412 to 1713). In Trapani, for nearly four centuries, the “Processione dei Misteri” on the day of Good Friday, still excites a whole population reproducing ancient traditions that are rooted in the history of Mediterranean and Spanish in particular.
