The Desolata Of Canosa

The statue of Our Lady of Sorrows is carried in a procession through the streets of Canosa di Puglia, Italy, on Holy Saturday, April 4, 2026. On the morning of Holy Saturday, a large choir composed exclusively of women with veiled faces and dressed in black sings a traditional hymn, the Stabat Mater, based on the lyrics of Jacopone da Todi. Some participants continue the tradition of going barefoot. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
