Hooded Apostles

Kraak! If you’re here on Holy Thursday, take a moment and look around… something special is about to unfold, something you can feel in the air, like a shift in the wind.

In the evening, as the light softens and silence gently settles in, the procession of the Hooded Apostles begins. “Hooded” means exactly that: men wearing hoods, walking in an orderly way, creating a quiet and powerful atmosphere.

Criii! It’s a truly evocative scene — the kind that stays with you, like the scent of the sea lingering along the shore. The figures move slowly, almost carried by an invisible current, and everything around seems to pause.

Have you ever seen a tradition that speaks without words? Here in Procida, that’s exactly what happens. This procession is one of those moments that reveal the island’s true soul.

Squa-squa! If you’re here that evening, follow it with your eyes… let it guide you. It’s not just something to see — it’s something to experience.
