Corsica is a Mediterranean island located in the French territory and west of the Italian peninsula. As an exotic and offbeat destination, this place will introduce you to some unusual Easter traditions.

One such tradition dates back to the thirteenth century where a man brings the chains; a ritual that symbolizes the ordeal of Christ and it takes place on Good Friday evening.

After dark, the church doors open and the procession begins. A wooden cross is carried over a distance of 2 km, a penitent with a ski mask and foot shackles. This man will fall three times, just as Jesus did, during his journey. While experiencing such traditions, you can also enjoy the tropical weather and striking community culture in Corsica over Easter.

4. Seville, Spain

Semana Santa or the Holy Week is one of the biggest religious celebrations of the year in Spain. When in Seville during Easter, you can experience a good deal of drinking, eating, merrymaking and processions.

Participants of Semana Santa processions dress in a traditional attire belted robes with capirote, which is a tall conical hat covering faces. These are some interesting and grandeur celebrations that are carried out in Seville.

5. Japan
