The Desolata Of Canosa
Women dressed in black await the procession of the Madonna Desolata from the Church of San Francesco e Biagio on Holy Saturday in Canosa di Puglia, Italy, on April 4, 2026. On the morning of Holy Saturday, a large choir of women with veiled faces and dressed in black, some barefoot, sings the traditional hymn Stabat Mater, based on the lyrics of Jacopone da Todi. They move slowly, participating in a ritual that involves the entire community. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
