During the night the Mysteries through the streets of the most characteristic and beautiful old town is wonderful to see all the people on the streets at night with the noise of drums and in particular ciaccole in the background. The Mysteries will pass by quickly between a stop and the other up to the Barracche, is the dawn, the procession is recomposed, the bands begin to play, and between un´annacata and the other path is the last piece the route.

On Saturday morning, the square fills growing purgatory, here one of the most exciting moments of the procession entered the church of the Sacred Groups in purgatory.
The Mysteries come one by one in the church accompanied by bands, some crying with emotion, enthused, who take the photographs, those who pray and who takes it all with the cameras.

The consuls of their own groups and Massari accompanied by the bands lead the mysteries inside the church, entering and exiting the front door until the music ends. The procession is about to end with the entry of Our exciting, yet another annacata, yet another blow to ciaccula to point to the nth edition of the procession of Trapani, the door closes and the people leave the streets filled with wax.
