This religious event consists of a highly evocative performance held in Grottammare every three years on Good Friday.
The first record of the procession, which was originally held annually, dates back to 1738.
The sacred play, organized since 1757 as we continue to see it today by the Confraternity of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, traditionally involves hundreds of people from Grottammare, who pass down from father to son the roles they have assumed.
The procession travels through the streets of the town, lit only by flashlights crossing the old embrasure and the marina downstream, accompanied by the sound of drums and clarions.
Three choirs composed of girls, girls and women dressed completely in black, respectively, to the sound of drums and clarions singing religious hymns, accompany the participants throughout the performance.
