Easter Procession in Mendrisio

Thomas Kern

Maundy Thursday, 17 April 2014, in Mendrisio: In the evening all street lights are turned off and a group of amateur performers re-enacts the suffering of Christ in a traditional Easter procession. Christ is followed by the linen cloth carrying Mary Magdalene, the thieves, the roman soldiers and the Jewish people – all wearing gorgeous colourful garb from the costume collection of La Scala in Milan.
