"Dante The stretch of road between the house number 91 and the angle Vico Giovine, where the priests, which will normally be delivered the sacred image of the Pieta, do not show up at the exchange rate, is attributable to the holders of the third section. These, however, conclude the procession from the corner Vico Giovine the Church of the Purgatory. "
That practice attracts the attention of molfettesi that crowd in Piazza Mazzini and along Via Dante to see "visually" disabled priests, dressed in clerical garb, white surplice and red stole, and the bearers of Death temporarily forced out of their role, they just hold the four forks, ready to intervene at every change of "breath" of priests and for every occasion ..
to be said for the record, unlike the brother of Death which is scheduled for the "compass" (Draw the holders), there will be no draw for aspiring priests carriers. These, in fact, participating in the procession, they could offer their willingness to bring the Pietà.

But beyond the outward appearance of the tradition, that certainly has its influence on the sensitivity of mind of Molfetta, we wonder what the religious significance may have lead to shoulder the statue of the Pieta by the clergy.
The answer is subjective.
I think the priests, carrying on their shoulders the statue of the Pietà in its final stage of the procession of Holy Week, people want to raise the outside at any moment - which is a procession, but as an expression and not as pious folk tradition or, worse, tourist curiosity - at a time inside, one of Easter to be relived in its meaning of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ.
"in the Lord who opens her heart / with Mr. rise again. " These lines turn a popular song written by Alessandro Manzoni in 1812, entitled "The Resurrection", in which the verb rise again emphasizes the dependence of our existence from the life of Christ.
There is rebirth without the sacrifice of the Cross, there is no salvation without Christ. E 'for excellence in the Christian message, which is renewed each year by the repetition of the rite of pain, blood, death and resurrection of Christ.
