Holy Thursday street procession

Not something you see every day. Tonight's passeggiata has extra oomph. The band is playing dirges, there are 2 guys dressed as Roman soldiers, and the hooded people are holding burning incense or swinging clanging clacking noisemakers. I haven't heard this sound for almost 40 years, yet I remembered it immediately, from the Good Friday service when I was a child. Sicily continues to fascinate.
