About A Naca The Cradle

 

On Holy Friday April 19, A Naca a dialect word because of this “the cradle”, from the Greek word nache, a religious celebration that dates back to 1600, takes location in Catanzaro. The party starts offevolved the night before Thursday, April 18, while the Confratelli contributors of a brotherhood, with their head encircled by a braided crown of untamed asparagus, go to the Sepulchres even as they carry on their shoulders, in turn, a Penitentiary Cross. The Naca is the cradle in which the statue of Dead Jesus is collocated. It’s an impressive structure adorned with damasks, silk and plants.

 

On the cradle, there are four or extra angels made with papier maché with the image of the Passion, in the front of a large illuminated pass. Nowadays the Naca is added by using shoulder with the aid of the Firemen thru a long path within the streets of Catanzaro. It’s preceded by means of the standards and the flags of the Brotherhoods of the city and it’s accompanied by means of the jail crosses. In the past, they represented the institutions of the professions that brought the “Naca” with a normal swinging stride. The “Cradle” is accompanied by way of the Madonna Addolorata represented via a heart pierced with 7 swords, that represent the 7 pains of Mary.
