Ogni venerdì santo, dal XIII secolo, lungo le vie di Gubbio sfila una processione pregna di sacralità. Alla luce di falò e fiaccole, al suono di un antichissimo canto in latino, il Miserere [ www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AEuEl7jYuI ], che si è tramandato per secoli oralmente, al ritmo delle preghiere e del suono cupo dei penitenti con le caratteristiche “battistrangole” e il rumore dei passi lenti sul selciato, si richiama alla penitenza, alla purificazione e alla redenzione.

La processione del venerdì santo di Gubbio rievoca i simboli della passione che sfilano portati da uomini in saio e incappucciati: sono il teschio che rappresenta il Golgota, l’uomo con la croce, altri uomini con croci, il calice, i 40 denari, la corda, la colonna, il gallo, i flagelli, la corona di spine, la scritta Inri, il velo della Veronica, il sudario, i chiodi, il martello, la spugna, la lancia, i vestiti di Gesù, i dadi, la scala, le tenaglie. Questi simboli sono proceduti dagli uomini della confraternita che recano in mano il battistrangole, uno strumento in ferro che, scosso, determina un suono lugubre e sordo e richiama la popolazione alla processione e alla sua sacralità.

Seguono le statue del Cristo Morto e della Madonna Addolorata, entrambe preziose statue lignee, la prima si presume cinquecentesca, la seconda ottocentesca. Sono trasportate da uomini che indossano saio bianco con cappa nera (statua del Cristo) e saio bianco con cappa blu (statua della Madonna). Tutti i luoghi più significativi della storia di Gubbio sono raggiunti dal corteo: dal “pietrone”, antichissima pietra sacrificale che indica le origini pre-romane di Gubbio, ai conventi cittadini, all’ospedale, attraversando le vie del centro storico. In piazza San Pietro, Via Dante e Largo San Marziale sono accesi i fuochi e i bracieri. L’attenzione, il coinvolgimento con cui viene seguita la processione dai presenti determina una forte solennità e suggestione.

The master´s quality is manifested through the depiction of faces, introspective,

full of dignity and melancholic lyrism that is enhanced with a delicate sfumato.

The High altar of Saint Nicholas in the parish Church of Saint Nicholas in Prešov, eastern Slovakia, was erected already in late Gothic period (1490-1506, sculptor Ján Weiss). After the fire of 1673 the Gothic shrine with more than life-size carvings survived and was incorporated to the new Baroque altar construction of 1696 with statues by Jozef Hartmann, with the dominant Saint Sebastian. The prominent position of Saint Sebastian in the altar dedicated to Saint Nicholas can be explained by the intervention of the city mayor, donor of the altar, whose patron saint was Sebastian.
