Easter in Trapani, quanto bello!!!!
It has been stated that even die-hard atheists fall to their knees in tears while watching the Holy Day processions that tap into something very, very ancient in the sould of every Sicilian (and atheist!!!).
Sicily has been said to be sixty years behind “progressive” Italy (which is something I’m happy about!!), in Trapani during Easter season all is two thousand years “behind,” which I feel is exquisite… In the words of E.W. Solberg, “All progress is not forward.”

I’ll never forget this experience. Just seeing the title of today’s Note sent shivers up my spine. Amazing. Buona Pasqua to all.

Thank you for this beautiful note. We loved all the festivals in Italy and were able to attend Good Friday in Enna (a previous “note”) but unfortunately could not be in Trapani for Easter Sunday. Thank you for posting it here.
