The religious rituals that precede Easter in Sorrento, represent  a mystic, historic and anthropological cleft of rare implication and strong emotional impact. The Good Friday processions are sacred performances celebrating the passion and death of Jesus Christ and are held in the whole Sorrentine Peninsula. They follow an evocative itinerary that runs through villages, lanes and darkened city streets illuminated exclusively by torches. The majestic procession of drum beats, the hooded faithful and members of the antique sacred congregations still active in the area are broken by living scenes that depict events along the road to Calvary and culminate in the representation of the crucifixion of the Christ witnessed by his weeping and grieving mother, Mary, the Sorrowful Virgin. In an imposing mass spectacle and in a silence broken only by the mournful Canto del Miserere sung by the choirs following the Christ, one takes part in one of the most evocative sacred rituals in the world. An unforgettable mystic atmosphere, will return to min when you tell your friends about your holiday in Sorrento.
