Holy Thursday morning, I went to Savarino’s to recharge my Internet chiavetta and found Nino Savarino working on his choreography for the Solemn High Mass .
Studying choreography for Holy Thursday’s Solemn HIgh Mass.
Later that day, as I was sitting in the Chiesa Madre, I counted just 10 apostles, and then Father came up to the woman next to me and whispered, “We need two more boys…” She left, presumably drafting the two young men I saw 5 minutes later, running toward the altar carrying apostle robes.

Below the video: Leaving church last night, I ran into the crew setting up a stage for “The Condemnation of Jesus ” station of the Good Friday experience here. As I’m writing this, I’m just in from walking the 2.5-hr “Sacra Rappresentazione Vivente,” and still trying to wrap my head around the experience, uncertain how one writes about such an amazing assault on the senses.
