The origins of the processions of the Week Saint in the peninsula sorrentinas are not verifiable exactly. Ricollegabili without any doubt to the ancient custom of the world confraternale since his to rise, they surely had a notable impulse during the Spanish domination in the Kingdom in Naples but the custom to go to procession in prayer singing psalms in Thursday Saint and to visit the Altars of the Reposizione, the Sepulchres as improperly it is said still today, it is ancient and it goes up again back to many centuries.

The brotherhoods sorrentines divide him this assignment, according to their ancient customs, visiting the Altars the evening of Thursday Saint, after the liturgical functions in the parish Church, or in the night among the Thursday and the Friday Saint, bringing in procession, in such case, also the Madonna's statue Our Lady of Sorrows that symbolizes in the tradition to populate his/her Mother to the search of the fallen Child in the hands of its executioners.

The procession of the Christ Morto develops him after the liturgical functions of Friday Saint, to the sunset. In past you/he/she was generally organized from the parish Churches that you/they invited the brotherhoods to participate you. In some parishes the organization of the procession was and is still assignment, for ancient tradition, of a particular brotherhood.

The processions of the Week Saint I am not only the fundamental part of the secular appointment of the Brotherhoods of the archdiocese of Sorrento, that every year animates her punctually renewing a mythical, secular appointment in spring, but of all the inhabitants of the Peninsula sorrentina that you/they live in them particular, mystical and fascinating moments. To describe the atmosphere that surrounds these demonstrations of ours so involving and suggestive is not what easy; it needs to live her, "to be you inside" and to bathe in that mysterious and severe, delicate and proud air, but always and however of great drammaticità to understand its essence and to receive emotions of it and feelings.The hooded ones unthread to slow footstep; they escape in the night, white paludamenti, black, red, purplish, blue, just illuminated by the torches and by the lamp-posts that they bring and then crosses, symbols of the Passion, standards and yearning songs, mythical visions and impalpable perceptions of going up again remote times, through the unconscious, to rites perhaps lived, distant in the time centuries or millennia. The nights of the Thursday and the Friday Saint they are fascinating nights. "Spell of Friday Saint", the music of Wagner, as of enchantment is the rievocazione of the Passion and Death of the Christ that the Brotherhoods sorrentines have been representing for centuries, a millennial play that involves and it moves reciting since he/she remembers a historical misdeed the greatest crime of the humanity. The brothers interpret with conviction their role; penitents and actors to once, in deeply secular way but convincedly religious, they has the tendency to emotionally involve the spectators, almost to want them to make responsible of the sufferings to which the Christ was submitted, also because of their sins, through the presentation in the most dramatic and cruel terms of the tortures to which you/he/she was submitted.
