The Desolata Of Canosa
About 400 women participate in a procession, singing the hymn of the Desolata through the streets of Canosa di Puglia, Italy, on April 4, 2026, during the Desolata ritual on Holy Saturday. The morning event features a large choir of women with veiled faces, dressed in black, some of whom walk barefoot, singing the traditional hymn, the Stabat Mater, based on the lyrics of Jacopone da Todi. The procession is a community ritual reflecting on the Passion. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
