I misteri or the mysteries are Good Friday processions that re enact the Virgin Mary's search for the crucified Jesus. It winds in several streets until the body she finds her dead son.

The most famous one is in Trapani, Sicily where practically the whole city participates with the different artisan guilds each playing a role. These images swot with a Leica M-4 on Tri-X Pan date from 1974 and are being re discovered.
