Good Friday Procession in Rome

Once a year, Rome holds a unique impressive parade, with the participation of the POPE. The parade which takes place on Good Friday (the Friday before Easter), attracts thousands of people from all over the world.

The traditional procession is accompanied by thousands of believers who light its way with torches. The parade stops 14 times on its way, to present the crucified march of Jesus from his death sentence to his burial.

Thousands of people, local and tourists pour into town and the demand for accommodation is higher than usual, therefore it is advisable to check hotel prices and make reservations ahead of time.

The POP, carrying a wooden cross, holds a ceremony of short pray in every stop. The parade starts its way from the Coliseum to Palatine hill, the central hill of the Seven Hills of Rome.

The procession show, the thousands of people with torches and the ceremonies in all the 14 stops, leave the visitor with strong impression and imposing visual experience.

Italy background and overview
Italy became a nation-state in 1861 when the regional states of the peninsula, along with Sardinia and Sicily, were united under King Victor EMMANUEL II. An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed. Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include illegal immigration, organized crime, corruption, high unemployment, sluggish economic growth, and the low incomes and technical standards of southern Italy compared with the prosperous north.
