5. HOLY WEEK IN ENNA

Holy Week in Enna is a religious event, a cultural heritage of the Spanish domination in the island and involves most of the male population of the city. The “hooded”, so called due to the hood that hides their faces, grouped in 16 brotherhoods originally engaged in ancient crafts, give life to a series of events culminating in the Good Friday procession.

“La Paesana” (the fog, so called by the citizens of Enna) makes the atmosphere even more solemn.
