The Desolata Of Canosa

Schoolgirls participate in a procession through the streets of Canosa di Puglia, Italy, on April 4, 2026, during the Desolata ceremony on Holy Saturday. On this morning, a large choir of women with veiled faces, dressed in black, and some barefoot, sings the traditional hymn Stabat Mater, based on the lyrics of Jacopone da Todi. The participants move slowly with their faces hidden, engaging in a ritual that involves the entire community. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto)
