Aeolian Islands in spring? Yes! It’s a wonderful experience, according to “Relax e Oltre.” Nature is the most beautiful of the year, incredibly green, and the opportunity to go for walks during the warm weather with beautiful days makes it even more interesting. Easter is unforgettable here with its traditions. Every year on Palm Sunday, the living Stations of the Cross are held, with actors recounting Christ’s last days, from his entry into Jerusalem to his crucifixion. All this takes place inside the impressive Lipari Castle. <\/p>\n\n
Good Friday is the evening of the procession of the dead Christ, carried through the streets of the city center. The procession is lit with candles, with the people following the coffin in a touching silence. <\/p>\n\n
On Easter Sunday morning in Marina Corta, two separate processions meet: that of Mary, still grieving over the death of her son and still covered in a black cloak. This procession meets that of the risen Jesus. As they meet, Mary’s cloak falls, and a flight of white doves emerges. At the same time, the Lipari marching band explodes with a jubilant piece. It’s definitely worth seeing! If you want to immerse yourself in the Sicilian tradition of processions, you have to see it.<\/p>\n\n
And finally, on Easter Sunday, still a non-working day in Italy, all the families gather under the olive trees of Pianoconte, near the “Relax e Oltre” facilities, for the traditional picnic, with music and children playing ball with each other, their parents, and their grandparents. <\/p>\n\n
In short, consider Lipari even during an important religious holiday like Easter week. It’s an alternative vacation that won’t disappoint. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
