Good Friday in Enna!

The Lenten season was always a big deal growing up. As little kids we tithed, gave up a favorite food, ate pancakes for supper, collected money for Unicef, got new clothes, and honored Ash Wed, Good Friday and Easter. My parents are devout Episcopalians and I attended an Episcopalian girls school.

So despite my lack of belonging to a singular faith as an adult, I am culturally Christian and the idea of experiencing Sicily's most revered Good Friday procession captured my imagination and heart!
