Procession Of The Desolate In Bitonto
A choir of children is accompanying the Desolata procession out of Bitonto Cathedral through the streets of the city in Bitonto, Italy, on March 22, 2024. With the traditional procession of the Desolate, the rites of Holy Week in Bitonto are coming into full swing. On Passion Friday, the effigy of Our Lady of Sorrows, a symbol of faith and mystery, wearing her black dress and with the small sword that pierces her heart--a metaphor for the pain of all mothers who lose a child--is parading through the streets of the city.
