Edition 2025 — Good Friday Montelepre

In 2025, Montelepre once again experienced its intense Holy Week. The Good Friday Procession, on April 18, carried through the historic center the glass urn of the Dead Christ, supported by the Congregazione dei Galantuomini, and Our Lady of Sorrows entrusted to the Congregazione delle Maestranze. On Palm Sunday, the Procession of the Mysteries took place, with its living tableaux and about four hundred participants, among the most evocative religious events in the province of Palermo.

The 2025 edition of the Holy Week in Montelepre confirmed the vitality of one of the most deeply felt religious traditions in the province of Palermo. The Procession of the Mysteries, with its approximately eighty living tableaux and four hundred participants, opened the celebrations on Palm Sunday, retracing the history of salvation along the village streets. On Good Friday, April 18, 2025, the glass urn of the Dead Christ and Our Lady of Sorrows crossed the historic center, carried on the shoulders of the two ancient congregations, in an atmosphere of profound recollection.
