The First Crucifer Procession In Noicattaro
The first Crucifer walks the streets of the town on Maundy Thursday in Noicattaro, Italy, on April 17, 2025. Holy Thursday in Noicattaro is characterized by the figure of the Cruciferous: hooded men, dressed in a long black habit, who walk barefoot through the streets of the town dragging chains and carrying a large wooden cross on their shoulders. Their silent passage, marked only by the clanking of chains and the slow rhythm of their steps, is one of the most powerful and moving images of Holy Week in Apulia.
