Grassina procession provides religious culture on Tuscany holiday

On Good Friday, the locals in Grassina, which is near to Florence, re-enact the Passion of Christ through a colourful procession.

Visitors can watch the procession which starts at 21:30 in the village and depicts the last moments of Jesus Christ's life.

The Annunciation, the resurrection of Lazarus and the Last Supper are acted out before the betrayal and Pilate's washing of his hands take place.

Bad weather is the only thing that would restrict this important event from taking place and if it is restricted the event will take place on Easter Monday instead.

Family villas in Tuscany provide a good opportunity to take a relaxing break and enjoy time out in a villa with a private pool.

Holiday makers travelling to the region can not only relax in their Tuscan villa but enjoy the culture and beautiful surroundings of the region including the cities of Florence and Pisa.
