The Easter period in the province of Lucca is characterized by numerous traditional events. On Thursday and Friday take place through the streets of many villages some particular processions, with the participation of the clergy and the fraternities in their uniforms, songs of the official liturgy and candle-light processions.
A very special procession is the Holy Thursday in Castiglione di Garfagnana . This is the "Procession dei Crocioni" with a believer dressed as Christ, with iron chains on their feet and with a heavy wooden cross on his shoulders. Among  other events of the Holy Week also reports on Good Friday, the solemn Triennial Dead Jesus in Marlia (Capannori), the  Procession of the Dead Christ in Seravezza and the Procession of  Camaiore.
