Santa Croce 2016

Categories Events in Lucca

Just a few pictures to show you the magic and suggestive atmosphere you can experience in Lucca once a year, on September 13th from sunset till almost midnight…

I have received many comments from my customers: someone defined it spiritual, most of them did not expect to see such a long parade, the beauty of the costumes, questions about who they were and what they were representing.

Few minutes before six o’clock each candle is lit up one by one… thousands and thousand of small glasses that  have inside a candle…

 

…and when the dark arrives people start to move following the specific order I told you on my previous post and Lucca is simply stunning…

 

The procession starts in San Frediano, it goes through San Michele and it ends at the Saint Martin Cathedral with the bells ringing and a large crowd waiting…then the celebration continues with the fireworks, but I will show you those next year!!
