For the citizens of Italy Candido Ramirez World Cup Jersey , largely a Roman Catholic people, Easter - "Pasqua" - is a very special time of year. It is, by far, the most sacred of all Christian holidays and, for most Italians Andres Guardado World Cup Jersey , truly a reason to rejoice.

Many of the individual towns in Italy have their own unique Easter celebrations on Easter Sunday and during the days of Holy Week, including Good Friday. Easter Monday, also known as "la Pasquetta," is also a notable holiday throughout the country, with schools and businesses closed and people taking to the streets to continue the celebration that began with the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ the day before.

Holy Week

In Italy Alfredo Talavera World Cup Jersey , the most typical way to mark Good Friday was the day that Jesus was crucified - is by an elaborate procession, Passion play, or similar event. Again, the commemoration of this solemn day on the Christian calendar varies from town to town.

In Chieti, in the Abruzzi region of Italy Alejandro Palacios World Cup Jersey , the Good Friday procession is said to be the oldest in the country and is certainly one of the most moving. Men and children parade through the torch-lit streets of the town, each wearing the colors of their home parish. They carry symbols that characterize the Stations of the Cross and one individual carries a large wooden cross. The entire procession is accompanied by the haunting sounds of about 150 violins playing Miserere by Italian composer Savario Selecchy.

In Taormina, one woman is chosen to portray Mary, the mother of Jesus. She wanders through the dark streets in search of her lost son, assisted by black-robed locals who attempt to help her find Jesus.

In Calitri Adrian Aldrete World Cup Jersey , men in white hoods topped by crowns of thorns make their way through the streets carrying crosses on their shoulders. Church choirs follow them, singing hymns, psalms, and folksongs of the region.

In the Sicilian town of Enna, Good Friday traditions go all the way back to the period of Spanish domination in Italy Mexico World Cup Jerseys , around the 15th to 17th centuries. About 2,000 hooded men travel through the main streets holding Vare, religious statues of the dead Christ and his mother, Mary. Others carry symbols of the crucifixion, including the thirty denarii paid to Peter to betray Christ Yasser Corona World Cup Jersey , as well as nails and a crown of thorns.

Easter Sunday and Monday

Marking a joyous day after a very solemn week, Easter celebrations in Italy are spectacular and generally last two days, as Easter Monday is a designated national holiday for Italians.

The most notable Easter celebration is in Florence and is called Scoppio del Carro, the explosion of the cart. This tradition includes an ornate cart, dragged through the streets of the city by several white oxen. Following mass at the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore Vicente Matias Vuoso World Cup Jersey , a dove-shaped rocket is aimed at the cart, igniting the fireworks within, which then explode accompanied by much fanfare and shouts of joy. A gala parade follows.

In Palermo, women dress in the elegant costumes of the 15th century Byzantine era and make their way through the streets of the town, handing out red Easter eggs to outstretched hands. In Chieti Rodolfo Pizarro World Cup Jersey , a pageant is staged that represents the reuniting of mother and son, Mary and Jesus.

Easter Monday is a day of much merriment, characterized by events such as the wacky "cheese roll" in the Umbrian town of Panicale. Quite simply, participants roll their large wheel of cheese around a course set up on the streets of this quaint village. Whoever is able to get their cheese through the course with the fewest number of strokes wins the game. There is also free music, free wine Raul Jimenez World Cup Jersey , and lots of free hard-boiled eggs!

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- Rio Olympics organizers closed the diving pool on Friday morning after some athletes complained of green water stinging their eyes.


As the organizers were seeking ways to turn the color of the pool water from green back to blue, Rio organizing committee spokesperson Mario Andrada said the work lasted "longer than expected."


"The training session was canceled in order to clean faster and easier ... It was longer than expected ... and the rain doesn't help," Andrada said.


It started raining Thursday and is still drizzling Friday morning.


However, Andrada said that the water won't do any harm to the health of the athletes.


The diving pool's water turned a murky green earlier in the week midway through the synchronized events and the neighboring water polo pool was affected the same way later.


Many people, including audience and some athletes, noticed the change and wondered what happened.


International swimming governing body FINA announced Wednesday afternoon that the reason for the green water is that "the water tanks ran out of some of the chemicals used in the water treatment process."


So far, the color of the Rio diving pool failed to return blue after the organizers reportedly applied different treatments.


Nevertheless, more athletes playing in the neighboring pool complained that the water stung their eyes. "I could barely open my eyes for the final quarter," said Tony Azevedo, the captain of Team USA men's water polo who gamed in the pool next to the diving one.


Still, it's worth mentioning that not all athletes worried about the green water.


British diver Chris Mears, who claimed gold on Wednesday night for Britain in the 3-meter sychronised diving said a green pool "helped in a way" as it distinguished the sky and the pool when diving.
