Erice – the Mysteries
Even the procession of the Mysteries or Varette that takes place in the charming village of Erice is very fascinating. Here the procession begins in the evening by the Church of Sant’Orsola or of the Addolorata. The procession, opened by the confreres entirely covered with a white saio, proceeds along the steep paths to the rhythm of the drum. The statues of the various workers are 6. Among them: “Jesus in the garden of olive trees,” “The Flagellation,” “The Crowning of Thorns,” etc.
