FAITH AND ITS VOICES

Saturates the senses and fills the soul. Taking part in the Procession of Our Lady of Help means entering the deepest, most intense and heartfelt spirit of Sciacca’s community.
Tradition blends with faith, narrative with emotion.
For over four centuries, this is the moment the city has been waiting for: when their protector, who saved them from the 1600 plague, comes out into the streets carried by the porters, amid prayers, songs, and cries of joy.
Living this moment is a unique experience that no one will ever forget.
