During the Carnevale, Italy is adorned with great extravagance and magnificence to honor the beginning of Lent (a season in which Christians refrain from celebration and do not consume meat) and Easter.

When the saint returned, he used stone fragments from the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem to start a Sacred Fire, which he then marched around the city in a magnificent chariot.

On Easter Sunday, the whole Florence population gathers outside Il Duomo to observe the Scoppio del Carro (Explosion of the Cart). This hundreds-of-years-old tradition culminated with an extraordinarily well-maintained model bird lighting off an incomprehensible firework display outside the place of prayer.
