Edition 2025 — Sciacca Holy Week

In 2025, Sciacca once again experienced the rites of Holy Week from Holy Thursday, April 17, to Easter Sunday, April 20. The Good Friday processions, with Our Lady of Sorrows and the urn of the Dead Christ through the streets of the historic center, and the Sunday Encounters of the Resurrection confirmed the deep devotion of the local community, in continuity with the tradition passed down for generations.

The 2025 Holy Week in Sciacca took place from Holy Thursday, April 17, to Easter Sunday, April 20, following the traditional pattern of the local Easter rites. The Masses of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday in the main city churches opened the Triduum celebrations.

Good Friday represented the heart of the week, with the procession of Our Lady of Sorrows from the Carmine Church, the Stations of the Cross towards the Calvary, and the evening procession of the urn with the Dead Christ through the historic center. Easter Sunday concluded with the joyful Encounters of the Resurrection in Piazza Scandaliato, a moment of celebration that brought together the entire community of Sciacca.
