The
processions of the Dead Christ of Isernia and Campobasso are
particularly evocative and bear witness to the strong devoutness of
their people. A characteristic feature of the procession of Isernia
is the presence of the hooded faithful who carry the statues of the Grieving
Mother and the Dead Christ, as well as the busts of the Ecce
Homo, the Crosses of Calvary and the Crosses of the Via
Crucis.
At
Campobasso the “mourning” of Easter Sunday is profound,
heightened by the singing of the hymn composed by Michele De Nigris on
verses written by Pietro Metastasio, the heart-rending “Teco
vorrei, o Signore” known as Zuchetazů.
