Riti settenali
In Italia precisamente aGuardia Sanframondi (BN) ogni sette anni si svolge la processione dei battenti, in onore dell'Assunta. Anime vestite di bianco si trafiggono il petto fino a farlo sanguinare. Il caldo, l'odore del sangue misto all'aceto ti trasportano in un'altra dimensione, dove il sacro si mischia con il profano, tra crocifissi insanguinati e peccati da espiare.

The heat, the smell of blood mixed with vinegar transport you to another dimension, where the sacred mixes with the profane, between bloody crucifixes and sins to atone for.
