 This feast is traditionally celebrated on the Friday before Good Friday, with the faithful walking in the procession behind penitential pilgrimages in practically every town and village.Traditionally, some of the penitents walk barefoot or drag heavy chains tied to their feet, in fulfilment of some vow for favours received through divine intercession.The most popular Our Lady of Sorrows procession, is that one that held in the church of Our Lady of Jesus, in Valletta.
