The religious celebrations of the Week of Easter begin at sunset on Easter Thursday with the suggestive procession of the twelve Hooded Apostles, organized by the most ancient brotherhood of the island, the "Bianchi’s”, founded in 1583 by the Cardinal Innico D'Avalos of Aragon.
The first part is held in one of the thirteen churches of the island where the twelve brothers first put on their brotherhood habits and then celebrate the ritual of the Washing of the Feet.
Once the religious function has finished, the apostles put their hoods up and, with a cross on their shoulders and a crown of thorns on their heads, they march through the roads of the island escorted by the figure of the "centurione" (centurion), by the master of cerimonies and by the other members of the brotherhood who walk in single file holding large candles.
The procession foresees a visit to the SS. Sacrament exposed in the different churches along the way.
At the end of the procession, in the sacristy of the church which has been chosen, the last Supper is reenacted: the apostles, sat alongside a long table, eat a meal of vegetables, roasted fish, lamb, unleavened bread and wine.
