RITES AND TRADITIONS IN SANTADI

Each year on the first Sunday of August, an exciting event takes places in Santadi: the Mauritan Wedding!

On Sunday 2 August, visit Santadi for this occasion and experience a traditional wedding that will be celebrated in Sardinian language! The bridal celebration will be preceded by a long wedding procession accompanied by the sound of the Launeddas (kind of ancestral flutes), traccas (decorated carriages), knights and folk groups from the Sulcis and throughout the island. This is a colorful Sardinian event to remember!

Santadi is approximately 1 hour drive from Chia and can be combined with a visit to the caves Is Zuddas (see http://bit.ly/1fRJazg)

EVENT: HOLY WEEK IN SOUTH SARDINIA (25 – 31 MARCH 2018)

The Holy Week in Sardinia is a unique and exciting event, in which pagan rites meet Christian beliefs to create captivating rituals, remarkable processions and fascinating moments.The passion of Christ blends so intimately with the cycles of peasants’ life, so dear to the Sardinian people.

The processions of the Mysteries, the touching rites of the Descent from the Cross and the meeting between the statue of Jesus and Mary are crucial moments of the festival. An important role is also played by the Brotherhoods, who parade in their striking costumes, singing religious songs in Latin and Sardinian, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages.

With such rich traditions it is not surprising that in Sardinia Easter is called Pasca Manna, meaning Big Easter, to differentiate it from Paschixedda (Little Easter), which stands for Christmas.
