Easter in Delia
During the Holy Week in Delia various events of both a religious and folkloristic nature are organized which see a large participation of the faithful and tourists.
The rites that are revived every year on the occasion of Easter in Delia have ancient origins and it is believed that they can even date back to the second half of the eighteenth century.
