Easter traditions
In Romont and Rue, Easter traditions keep alive a ritual that is rare in Switzerland. From Maundy Thursday to Holy Saturday, as the bells have ‘gone to Rome’, they are replaced by tapolets, remarkable wooden rattles used to announce church services. In Romont, these instruments ring out from the Collegiate Church, whilst in Rue, children parade through the streets in a procession and receive sweets.
On Good Friday, a solemn procession retraces the Passion of Christ through the town of Romont, featuring a procession of mourners and a cross-bearer, continuing a tradition that is as solemn as it is authentic.
