Event: Pasquale Processione
Theme Thursday and Weekend in Black and White once again: Although I've never been in Italy for Christmas, I've been there twice for Easter. Here are some shots from a night-time Good Friday procession through the streets of Sansepolcro, Tuscany, April 2007. It went on for several hours, with virtually the entire town taking part, bundled up in the cold and slowly walking past stations of the cross staged every couple of streets, with townsfolk and children in costume as Israelites and Centurions. Monks in black peaked robes accompanied us and the parade was led by priests with candelabras; many people carried their own candles.

This week's Sepia Saturday features a rather ferocious swan encountered while puttering up the canal at Skipton, Yorkshire (2005). ... -
Another triple meme entry this week! The splendor of parades for me is just as much, if not more, about the spectators as the participants...

Striking B & W photos of this event. ♥
vivid showcase of the event.
well done entry.
I am with the fellow on the end, when it comes to Christmas.
I like how basically the whole town participates in this event. I cannot imagine that there is any event that would have everyone in my city participate. Really cool how the children have parts to play, and they look so cute all dressed up. Lots of memories being built up for them to share with their children some day.
I like how the pics are in B&W to where one concentrates on the faces and the emotions displayed.
A great event for this weeks Theme Thursday, thanks for playing.
God bless.
