This religious representation of the Way of the Cross is held every ten years in the middle of May in Cerveno in Valcamonica.

The Santa Crus is a folkloristic event, but also proof of the lively popular religiousness. It is held so rarely because of the scale of organization required; nearly everyone in the 600 person community is involved. The rite is linked to the presence in Cerveno of the Sanctuary of the Via Crucis (see “Valcamonica”) whose sculptures inspire the costumes and scenic representations during the procession through the streets of the village which involves the walking crowd.
