The Eight Saints, on Holy Thursday in procession from inside the Church where the Statue of the Pietà is exhibited, in Ruvo di Puglia on April 14, 2022. After a two-year stop for the most acute phase of the Covid pandemic, the night of the Eight Saints has returned, as popular tradition calls the statuary group of the "Transport of Christ to the Sepulcher", which, since 1920, has been conducted in procession by associates of the Confraternity Opera Pia San Rocco in Ruvo di Puglia, starting from the homonymous church where the statues are venerated. At 2 o'clock this night, Holy Thursday, in Piazza Menotti Garibaldi, the foot march took place by the "N. Cassano" band that accompanied the processional procession.
