Edition 2025 — Good Friday Milena

On the afternoon of Friday, April 18, 2025, the traditional Good Friday procession took place in Milena, with the Urn of the Dead Christ and the statue of the Addolorata carried through the streets of the center, accompanied by singers who intoned the Passion along the fifteen stations. The rite was preceded, on Maundy Thursday, by the 'Viaggi' to the altars of repose in the Mother Church, according to the ancient Milena custom passed down since the time of Milocca.

The 2025 edition of the Holy Week rites in Milena followed the usual traditional proceedings. On Maundy Thursday, the faithful performed the 'Viaggi' to the altars of repose, locally called 'u Sepolcru', decorated with plants, flowers, and white wheat sprouts grown in the dark.

On the afternoon of Good Friday, April 18, 2025, the procession of the Urn of the Dead Christ and the Addolorata took place through the streets of the center, in an atmosphere of profound spirituality and silent participation. The singers alternated in the lamentations, intoning the Passion through the fifteen stations of the route, in a rite that remains one of the strongest identity-defining moments for the community in the Caltanissetta area.
