"There is a special energy to Sicily during Easter, particularly during Holy Week," says Dana Bowen, who traveled to Sicily for Easter in 2010. "It's a time and place where you emotionally experience the connection between food and ritual and belief and culture really like nowhere else on the planet."
Bowen reported on her trip while she was executive editor of Saveur; she is the author of "Holy Week in Sicily" and "The Freshest Catch: The Fish Market in Catania, Sicily."
