The holy week is one of the busiest week of the year in Rome. Of course it starts with Palm Sunday and end with Ester Monday known in Italy as ‘Pasquetta’.
There is a wonderful range of ceremonies and customs all over the city to prepare for the Christian celebration of Christ rising from the dead at the first Easter.
Easter Sunday Mass in St Peter Square, presided by the Pope, is one of the biggest event in the city’s religious calendar.
The flower characterizing Easter week is the ‘Violacciocca’ or ‘Viola di Pasqua’ honestly I couldn’t find the English translation but here are the pictures.
This flower has an extraordinary and intense smell. You can easily find it in our homes in Easter time.
