On Good Friday, around eighty actors including soldiers, priests, disciples, women of the people and other performers, recreate the main phases of the fourteen stations of the Via Crucis. The procession goes from the Chiesa Madre as far as Via Calvario, the place of the Crucifixion. The town hall becomes natural setting of the Gar- 33 den of Olives, the place where, according to the Holy Scriptures, Jesus Christ retired to after the Last Supper before being betrayed and arrested. Emotions run high amongst the narrow alleyways of the town with the procession – near the Fontana Skanderbeg – and the encounters with Mary Magdalene, the Pious Women and Veronica who dries his face.
