Sordevolo
However it is a silence that every ten years becomes a coral prayer and a longing hymn of the whole population. It is a mistery how the script of this Passion, once performed at the Colosseum in Rome by the "Gonfalone" company, came up here; who knows if the hands of a saint, of a merchant or an adventurer brought the rhymes of Christ's martyrdom from the banks of the Tiber to the banks of the Elvo?
Certainly it came here as the pollen of a flower, carried by the wings of that impetuous wind of Fate: Sordevolo succeeded in making it multiply, grow and bloom.
That flower, which came from far and was nourished by the lymph of this land, every ten years, as punctual as the cycles of Nature, can bloom again; that flower is the gift the people of Sordevolo give to those who come up here, searching for a drop of water to quench their spiritual thirst in the shade of the Sanctuary of Oropa.
