Edition 2025 — Holy Week of Biancavilla

The 2025 edition of the Holy Week of Biancavilla took place from Palm Sunday, April 13, to Easter Sunday, April 20. As every year, the rites involved the local confraternities and the entire community, with the procession of the Tri Misteri as the central moment of Good Friday.

In 2025, the Holy Week of Biancavilla once again presented the entire sequence of traditional rites. The Living Stations of the Cross on Palm Sunday opened the celebrations, followed by the rites of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. On the evening of Good Friday, the procession of the Tri Misteri crossed the historic center with the eight sculptural groups carried on shoulders by the confraternities, while Easter Sunday concluded with the rite of A Paci. The events, inscribed in the Intangible Heritage Register of the Sicily Region, attracted faithful and visitors to the town on the slopes of Mount Etna in the province of Catania.
