The Desolata Of Canosa
A statue of the Madonna Desolata is carried in procession through the streets during the Desolata ceremony in Canosa di Puglia, Italy, on 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 still go barefoot. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
