Edition 2025 — Living Passion

The 14th edition of the Living Passion of Matino took place on Palm Sunday 2025 in the village's historic center. As per tradition, the itinerant sacred performance retraced the scenes of Christ's passion through the streets of the town and the eucalyptus hill, with the participation of over a hundred performers and hundreds of volunteers from the Joannes Paulus II Association.

In 2025, the 14th edition of the Living Passion of Matino renewed the Salento Holy Week appointment, attracting numerous spectators to the historic center of the town in the province of Lecce as it does every year.

The performance, promoted by the Joannes Paulus II Social Promotion Association with the patronage of the Municipality of Matino, followed the usual itinerant route: from the scenes of the Last Supper and the Garden of Olives, through the trial, the flagellation, and the ascent to Calvary, to the Crucifixion and Resurrection set on the eucalyptus hill. A collective effort that, involving actors, costume designers, makeup artists, and set designers, engages the entire Matino community every year.
