Procession of the Mysteries (Good Friday)

The 2025 edition of the Procession of the Mysteries of Montemesola took place on the evening of Good Friday, April 18th, with the silent procession moving from the Church of San Michele Arcangelo through the streets of the town.

Among the most evocative elements were the faces covered by white hoods, the long robes brushing the asphalt, the barefoot penitents under the weight of the cross, and the sacred statues carried on shoulders. Silence fell like a mantle over the community, in a deep and authentic participation. The novelty of the year was the presence of about one hundred women, protagonists of the Rites, testifying to a living tradition that renews itself. The care of the rites was entrusted to the Confraternity of San Michele Arcangelo, guardian of the sacred, together with the Confraternity of the Santissimo Rosario.
