Easter procession
Spring religious parade
An Easter procession is a formal religious march held during Holy Week or on Easter Sunday, typically featuring clergy, congregants, and symbolic objects like crosses, candles, or statues.
These processions move through streets or around churches, commemorating Christ's death and resurrection.
In Catholic and Orthodox traditions, they often involve elaborate floats or reenactments: The Easter procession wound through the old town as spectators lined the narrow streets.
