Easter in Ravanusa - The Scinnenza
Easter in Ravanusa is a celebration where great devotion and centuries-old traditions give moments of strong emotion and faith.
The most evocative moment of the Easter celebrations in Ravanusa is La Scinnenza, a dramatic representation of the Passion of Christ that is staged on Good Friday.
It is a centuries-old tradition in which numerous figures in period costume take part; the Calvary of Jesus is represented, who, starting from the Convent with the cross on his shoulders, crosses the streets of the city, preceded by Roman soldiers on horseback. In front of the Church of the Holy Cross, a stage is also set up where the trial of Jesus by the High Priests led by Caiaphas takes place, the repentance and death of Judas. The sacred representation ends with the crucifixion and death of Jesus.
