The Crucifix of Monreale (Pa)

The legend and the history of the statue of the SS. Crucifix are very different. Legend has it that around 1540, two ships sailing in the Mediterranean: a carrying Christians in the neighborhood of Palermo, Monreale and of itself, and of Boccadifalco Altarello Baida, the other was a Turkish ship. It is said that the Turks had a crucifix that dealt with them in a very disrespectful. The sailors Palermo outraged by the acts against the venerated image, asked and obtained power to redeem the image of the SS. In exchange for Crucifix a large sum of money. Returning to the port of Palermo question arose among them who the "Crucifix" and should belong to who should have the image, the men decided to put it on a cart pulled by oxen, where he stopped the wagon, a church that would arise would secure the "Crucifix." The oxen stopped several times and in different places but, beaten, continued their journey, then stopped right where now stands the church of the "Collegiate" and despite the beatings did not want to move.

The current procession winds its way along a path that for most is the one indicated by the Archbishop Venero in 1626. Part of the Collegiate. Passes by A. Veneziano to "channel" for over P. Novelli until "'abbiviratura", then back down the same street as far as Via Garibaldi called "a SCINNUTA Signuri du" (the descent of the Lord), by Venero, Corso P. Novelli, said "varanni" (via large), Via Roma to Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, makes a complete revolution of the same square, continue along Via B. D'Acquisto to go back to Palermo and finally Via Umberto I ° due to the Collegiate. The procession starts at 18.00 on May 3 and returns at approximately 2:00 am the following day. During the same, are spectacular manifestations of the kiss of children, carried out during some stops, and touch with their handkerchiefs and flowers the image of the SS. Crucified annually accompanies a crowd (about 25,000 persons), the faithful came from all over the island, since the dawn make "the journey" with big candles on top of which have set up a cardboard cone, called " u coppu. Moment of great attraction, a mixture of faith and folklore, and the arrival in agony: After the hard "SCINNUTA" (descent) who was crucified, placed in the center of the square, his face leaning towards the Conca d'Oro, extending his blessing the land below, a time of lush countryside and life for many families. The fireworks in the square round off a moment of great joy to feast the venerated image.
