Edition 2025 — Good Friday Francavilla

On the evening of Friday, April 18, 2025, Francavilla al Mare renewed the tradition of the Good Friday Procession. The community gathered in silence and devotion around the veiled Christ and Our Lady of Sorrows, in a journey of faith between the historic center and the seafront described by Mayor Luisa Russo as "one of the most touching moments of our tradition."

The 2025 edition of the Good Friday Procession took place on Friday, April 18, 2025, in Francavilla al Mare. As per tradition, the community of Francavilla gathered around the statue of the Dead Christ and Our Lady of Sorrows, accompanied by the symbols of the Passion, in a procession that started in the evening from the Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore.

The procession, organized by the Confraternity of the Most Holy Sacrament, crossed the streets of the center and the seafront in an atmosphere of reflection, amidst lit torches and sacred chants, confirming itself as one of the most attended rites of Holy Week in Abruzzo.
