I Vattienti di Nocera Terinese (Calabria). In occasione della Settimana Santa a Nocera, in provincia di Catanzaro, decine di vattienti percuotono le proprie gambe con il cardo, tappo di sughero e cera in cui sono conficcati 13 pezzi di vetro taglienti, fino a ricoprire le strade del paese di sangue. Di tradizione plurisecolare, la flagellazione prevede un rito privato e domestico ed uno pubblico, in concomitanza di chiese, croci, abitazioni di amici e parenti. Particolarmente forte l'incontro tra la statua della Pietà ed i vattienti dove la flagellazione aumenta di intensità ed emotività.
