The Crucifixion is staged in the Parco Urbano of the cellar-caves at Rapolla, whilst the procession of the Dead Christ winds along streets illuminated only by the faint light of candles in a beautifully intense atmosphere. The procession which includes pious women, wearing black garments decorated with a violet bow, continuously alternates religious songs with the prayers of the Priests and the faithful. Various stages are arranged on which all the phases of the Passion of Christ are enacted, from the conviction to the Crucifixion. The pious women follow the procession, each one carrying a candle in her hand which enhances the intimacy of the event.
