HOLY SATURDAY - Procession of the Pieta

protagonist of Holy Saturday is the Pietà, which represents the Madonna seated on a rock, on his knees with the lifeless body of the Son, just down from the Cross.

Pale in sorrow and his face was very young, with tearless eyes now turned to the sky, Madonna seems to be unsure as to why so much pain.

The Sacred Image has been made towards the end of 'the 800 of the master cartapestaio Lecce Giuseppe Manzo, author of three of the mysteries of Taranto (Christ at the Column, Ecce Homo and the waterfall), and represents a' work of great artistic value as beef is a representatives of the most important in view of the craftsmen of Lecce papier mache.

The procession starts from the church of the Purgatory at 17.00 by the Confraternity of Our Lady of Suffrage, built in 1678 when it recorded a widespread cult of the Madonna and the souls in Purgatory.

This began in the early 900 and was held in the early hours of Holy Saturday until 1958, then was brought in the afternoon and only in the years 2001 and 2002 there was an attempt to bring it back at night.

This experience was shelved because it was found that there were few faithful who watched the procession in the hours since 2003 and has returned to 'ride in the afternoon.

severe strokes of the bass drum and the drum roll announcing the procession are the last that is heard in 'years, as the funeral march, moving soundtracks of Holy Week performed by the town band.
The bass drum and the standard are being followed by the devout and successive sisters; this dress with a "dress" black upon which the initials MSS, that the Blessed Virgin Mary of Suffrage. They

before the cross of the men who wear a white coat with black shoulder bag, on which there is a silver medallion with a skull and crossed the shins, the encircled wear a black lace: and the chief "funny" to white.
.

Between the two long lines of contratelli appeared in 2007 a new character, which came to AA now fully part of the procession of Piety: the Cyrene.

This is represented by a brother who is wearing a black shirt and his face is covered by a cap of the same color as a sign of penance and not to be recognized, the door shoulder a heavy cross for the duration of the procession and proceed barefoot.

Finally there is the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary SS. of Mercy, carried on the shoulders with very slow pace, as if to symbolize the sad end of the most intense week of 'year.

The processional route is as follows:

Purgatory Church - Cathedral-street Via Vittorio Veneto - Piazza Garibaldi, Menotti - via De Gasperi - Piazza Regina Margherita - Gramsci course - via Oberdan - Via Duca della Vittoria - over Cotugno - via de Florenza - Piazza Cavallotti - via Carlo Rosselli - via Imbriani - by Pius XII - by ten. col. Fiore - Piave course - the course Jatta - Corso Cavour Piazza Bovio - Carafa course - the course Gramsci - Piazza Regina Margherita - Piazza Cavallotti - Jatta course - via Cathedral - Church of the Purgatory.

We return around 22.00 hours and not beyond, so that the faithful can have time to go to the Easter Vigil which begins at 23.30 in all the parishes in the city.

composition of the procession of the Mysteries in time

The procession of the Mysteries, organized by 'Confraternity of Mount Caramel in the afternoon of Friday, is the oldest among the four who parade through the streets of Ruvo between Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

Until the 50s the number of statues that made up the procession was well above the 'present, because they were the twelve statues that gave life to the Representation of the Sacred Passion of Christ.

Among these statues there were also those S. Peter and Veronica , Currently housed in two different niches in the Church of Carmine.

Then he went drastically from twelve to only four idols (Jesus at Calvary, Jesus died, the 'Sorrows and the temple with the Holy Wood), probably because no one could scarcely find a sufficient number of carriers.

This can be seen in the photos below (the early '80s, when the procession left the Church of the Redeemer as a result of the restoration of the Chiesa del Carmine).

.
the late 80's Camerino Vito Priore, who had the merit of leading the Brotherhood from a very critical period in a renewed way of living the moment confraternal, interpreting the will of the members, decided to increase the number carried in the procession of simulacra, this connection was maintained by his successor, Francesco Priore Sparapano and then you got to number eight, which is the current one.
fact, now the procession is made in Jesus' garden , Jesus column, the cane Jesus, Jesus Calvary , the Crucified, Dead Jesus , 's Sorrows and the temple with the relic of the Holy Wood .
.

The procession of the Mysteries and then, from a starting composition of twelve for nearly thirty years' took place with only four simulacra, to reach again the number of eight , a sign of a renewed and renewed love for the traditions Holy Week by the brothers in the Venerable Confraternity of Mount Caramel.
