The Dead Christ Procession is one of Gubbio's most important religious events. Its origins trace back to medieval times, particularly around the 13th century. During this period, religious dramas and reenactments were common forms of expression aimed at bringing biblical stories and liturgical events more alive. The Processione del Cristo Morto is what remains of these dramas.
