Edition 2025 — Holy Week of Assisi
Holy Week 2025
In 2025, the celebrations of Holy Week in Assisi renewed the centuries-old tradition of the Umbrian city. Maundy Thursday featured the Deposition of the Cross with the ancient laude of the "Scavigliazione"; on Good Friday, the two most heartfelt processions — the Dead Christ in the morning from the Cathedral of San Rufino and Our Lady of Sorrows in the evening towards the Basilica of Saint Francis — traversed the historic center with hooded confraternities.
As every year, the rites involved the entire community and numerous visitors, confirming Assisi among the symbolic places of Holy Week in Umbria.
