Summary note
Ritual documents the Good Friday procession -- an elaborate event that takes place annually in the streets of the historic Italian community in Toronto. Consisting of multiple reenactments with amateur actors and statues of Biblical tableaux that depict the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross), the event commemorates the passion and death of Jesus Christ, one of the most fundamental rituals of Christianity. Tens of thousands of people attend each year to walk in reverence or to stand on the sidelines as observers. The atmosphere is decidedly not festive but funereal, as worshippers sing mournful hymns to the plaintive sounds of dirges performed by brass bands. Year after year, there is a photographer drifting among the crowds, interacting with the participants, renewing contacts and documenting assiduously, a modern-day character in the cast of street in historical attire. That photographer is Vincenzo Pietropaolo. He has been photographing the vent almost every year since 1969, and, in the process, the annual pilgrimage with his camera has become his own personal ritual as a documentary photo artist.
