Holy Week and Easter in Avola

The 2025 edition of the Holy Week in Avola followed the traditional calendar, with Easter celebrated on Sunday, April 20th. From the blessing of the palms on Palm Sunday to the "Sepurcri" on Holy Thursday, and the solemn Holy Thorn procession on Good Friday along the streets of the historic center, the city experienced days of intense devotion.

The highlight was, as always, the "Paci" rite on Easter Sunday: in the main square of Avola, the statues of the Risen Christ and the Madonna met amidst the applause of the crowd, with the flight of doves sealing the resurrection. An event that confirms Avola as one of the reference points for the Easter rites in the province of Syracuse.
