Good Friday in Agrigento. Introduction to the Religious Sensitivity of the People of Sicily

Summary/Abstract: An attempt at a reportage and anthropological record of a procession taking place on Good Friday in Sicilian Agrigento (Sicily). The author stresses the vitality and authenticity of the religious event, indicating the strong enrootment of this type of magic-religious sensitivity in Greek heritage dating back to antiquity. At the same time, Zarewicz indicates that in Sicily “the society of the spectacle” (Guy Debord), an expression traditionally burdened with negative connotations, possesses an entirely positive implication.
