Holy Week in Sicily: Enna

Posted by

·


Holy week, the week between Palm Sunday (this coming Sunday) and Easter, is a solemn, yet exciting time in Sicily. Last year, I featured the events in Trapani for “I Misteri,” the city’s magnificent Good Friday procession. This year, I’m going to feature photos taken in Enna by my cousin Filippo Buttitta, like this one for the procession of the “Confraternite degli incappucciati,” the hooded confraternities from last year. Holy week and Easter is a phenomenal time to travel to Sicily.

Let’s enjoy his splendid photos together!
