Edition 2025 — Good Friday Acquedolci

On April 18, 2025, Good Friday, Acquedolci held its ancient and evocative Holy Week procession. Following the Stations of the Cross, the Marabitti wooden Crucifix, the Dead Christ, and Our Lady of Sorrows processed through the town center, accompanied by the faithful and confraternities in an atmosphere of intense reflection.

In 2025, the Good Friday procession in Acquedolci took place on April 18th, the day of Good Friday. The ritual, cited among the Easter events in Sicily, confirmed its identity-defining strength for the community of the Messina municipality.

As per tradition, after the Stations of the Cross, the ancient wooden Crucifix attributed to Ignazio Marabitti, kept in the Mother Church of the Blessed Virgin of the Assumption, along with the statues of the Dead Christ and Our Lady of Sorrows, was carried in procession through the streets of the center of Acquedolci, accompanied by the prayers of the faithful.
