Edition 2025 — Passio Christi

In 2025 as well, the Passio Christi opened the Holy Week in Crispiano on the Saturday before Palm Sunday. The itinerant sacred representation crossed the town center with about one hundred performers of all ages, retracing the Passion of Christ from the Last Supper to the Grotte del Vallone, the scenic heart of the event organized by the San Francesco d'Assisi parish.

The 2025 edition of the Passio Christi was held in Crispiano on Saturday, April 12, on the eve of Palm Sunday, confirming the ritual that has marked the beginning of Holy Week in the town in the province of Taranto for over twenty years. The itinerant representation involved the community with about one hundred performers, from children to the elderly, led by the Catholic Action of the San Francesco d'Assisi parish. The audience followed the actors through the squares and streets of the center, from the scene of the Last Supper to the Grotte del Vallone, where the most intense moments of the Crucifixion and the deposition came to life. As per tradition, admission was free.
