 The rituals of the Holy Week are celebrated in many Sardinian towns, some of which are very particular and very exciting. They commemorate the life of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion, his death and his resurrection. The Holy Week is preceded by Palm Sunday, during which palm leaves and olive branches are distributed. The palm leaves are often finely interwoven as works of art. Celebrations begin on Holy Tuesday with the Via Crucis and continue on Thursday by washing the feet of the Apostles during the Mass of  the Last Supper, followed by the women’s procession to the sepulchers organized in several churches; Good Friday, with the procession of the dead Christ, is the most moving day.

The closing ritual of Good Friday is S’Iscravamentu (when the dead Christ is removed from the Cross). On the evening of Holy Saturday Our Lady of Sorrows buries the dead Christ in the Holy Sepulchre.  On the morning of Easter Sunday S’Incontru takes place, which is the meeting between Mary and her resurrected son Jesus Christ.

The most significant rituals from a scenographic point of view take place in Alghero, Cagliari, Sassari, Oristano, Nuoro, Aidomaggiore, Bortigali, Bosa, Castelsardo, Cuglieri, Desulo, Domusnovas, Iglesias, Oliena, Orosei, Santu Lussurgiu, Sarule, Scano di Montiferro, Villacidro, Su Scravamentu in Baressa and Morgongiori and S’Incontru is celebrated in many other Sardinian towns.
