The Desolata Of Canosa

Women participate in the Desolata ritual in Canosa di Puglia, Italy, on April 4, 2026. About 400 women are expected to march in procession through the streets of the city on Holy Saturday. 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 still go barefoot. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
