Edition 2025 — Alcara Holy Week

In 2025, the Holy Week in Alcara li Fusi marked the grand return of the sacred performance Christus "U Passiu," staged after an eleven-year absence. The show, originally planned for a different date, was performed on April 24, 2025, due to bad weather, alongside the usual rites of the Holy Thursday of the Apostles, the Procession of the Mysteries, and the Easter Search.

The 2025 edition of the Holy Week rites in Alcara li Fusi was highly anticipated for the return of the sacred performance Christus "U Passiu", which had been missing from the Nebrodi village's schedule for eleven years. Due to adverse weather conditions, the performance was postponed and held on April 24, 2025, drawing large crowds. Alongside it, the traditional setup of the Apostles' statue group in 18th-century papier-mâché in the Mother Church, the Good Friday Troccole, the Procession of the Mysteries, and the Cerca dell'Addolorata on Easter Sunday took place, confirming the vitality of one of the most deeply felt traditions in the province of Messina.
