From dawn to late at night, on the streets and in the houses of the small town in the Palermitan area, more than a thousand meters above sea level, Resurrection Sunday is definitely not a day like any other: around, there are devils and death in person, targeting passers-by and, in the highlight of the festival, attempting to prevent the meeting between the Madonna and the Risen Christ. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a688a43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"a688a43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.19.0 - 07-02-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image-carousel .swiper,.elementor-widget-image-carousel .swiper-container{position:static}.elementor-widget-image-carousel .swiper-container .swiper-slide figure,.elementor-widget-image-carousel .swiper .swiper-slide figure{line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-image-carousel .swiper-slide{text-align:center}.elementor-image-carousel-wrapper:not(.swiper-container-initialized):not(.swiper-initialized) .swiper-slide{max-width:calc(100% \/ var(--e-image-carousel-slides-to-show, 3))}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 1\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"a688a43\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Diavoli 2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTExOTcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zaWNhbml2aWxsYWdlcy5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjRcLzAzXC9EaWF2b2xpLTIuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiYTY4OGE0MyJ9\" href=\"https:\/\/sicanivillages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Diavoli-2.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/sicanivillages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Diavoli-2-768x660.jpg\" alt=\"Diavoli 2\" \/><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2046669 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2046669\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sacred and profane are mixed<\/strong> in the representation of the eternal struggle between good and evil, in a tradition that dates back to the 18th century, to 1711 to be exact, and that refers, especially in terms of masks, to the Mexican Festival of the Dead and, in general, to a certain South American folklore of Hispanic inspiration. A festival in which the propitiatory rites that celebrated the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature are echoed. In short, an event not to be missed, all the more so if you have not already had the opportunity to participate.<br>&#8220;The Dance of the Devils,&#8221; says <strong>Giuseppe Girgenti, president of the Pro Loco of Prizzi<\/strong>, &#8220;over the centuries has remained unchanged, fully respecting its main canons. At six o&#8217;clock in the morning on Easter Day, the devils &#8220;go a pigghiari a paci&#8221; in the main churches of the town, a way of apologizing in advance for the future misdeeds they will commit during the day. Devils and Death, in fact, with their terrifying masks will have fun sowing panic among passersby and in the homes of Prizzi residents, leaving the unfortunate in peace only in exchange for a ransom, often something good to eat: eggs with sauce, bread balls, meat sauce, pork sausage even early in the morning. In short, everything is excessive in Prizzi for Easter.&#8221;     <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23d9538 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"23d9538\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 1\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"23d9538\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Diavoli 3\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTExOTksInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zaWNhbml2aWxsYWdlcy5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjRcLzAzXC9EaWF2b2xpLTMuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiMjNkOTUzOCJ9\" href=\"https:\/\/sicanivillages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Diavoli-3.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/sicanivillages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Diavoli-3-768x647.jpg\" alt=\"Diavoli 3\" \/><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb2c882 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb2c882\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p>In the streets and in the homes of the villagers, the devils chase the &#8220;victims&#8221; and make them dance with them, or pull them aside demanding in ransom of freedom, an obolus (which will then be used to repay the costs of the festival).

The devils and Death twice try to thwart Mary&#8217;s meeting with her resurrected son, but on the third attempt the angels pierce the devils, while Death walks away undisturbed; and it is at this point that the Addolorata&#8217;s black cloak falls off, revealing a blue one.    <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1d432e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"f1d432e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 1\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"f1d432e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Diavoli 5\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTEyMDAsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zaWNhbml2aWxsYWdlcy5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjRcLzAzXC9EaWF2b2xpLTUuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiZjFkNDMyZSJ9\" href=\"https:\/\/sicanivillages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Diavoli-5.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/sicanivillages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Diavoli-5-768x660.jpg\" alt=\"Diavoli 5\" \/><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70d597f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70d597f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p>&#8220;This year,&#8221; Girgenti says, &#8220;on Easter morning there will be an award ceremony for the <strong>Diavulicchi competition,<\/strong> dedicated to children.
