Holy Week in Milis

Lots of excitement among processions and traditions characteristic of the country

From the Sunday before Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday. This is the duration of Easter celebrations in Milis, in the province of Oristano. Why a week earlier? All the fault of two ancient brotherhoods that competed for the admiration of the villagers. One of them once decided to steal Su Puddu, a sacred banner fundamental to Milis' celebrations, which belonged to the rival confraternity. A gesture so daring that it has become a tradition to be repeated every year. This is followed by processions for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. It is a splendid time to visit Milis and see the citizenry gathered around its spirituality and tradition.
