The feast of the Easter Arches of San Biagio Platani began in the second half of the seventeenth century when the two brotherhoods, respectively "Madunnara" with headquarters in the Mother Church and "Signurara" with headquarters in the Carmine Church near Calvary, took care to delimit artistically the sacred space where the meeting of the Risen Christ with the Madonna his Mother takes place on Easter day. Starting with the term "Archi di Pasqua" one immediately understands what the structure is. The scenic apparatus of the event refers to the triumphal arch which in basilican architecture represented the limit, the threshold of passage from the central nave to the transept where the sacred rite takes place. The triumphal arches of San Biagio Platani mark the sacred space where the ritual of the triumph of life over death, the victory of Christ, the revelation of the "Mystery" in the resurrection takes place. This ceremonial takes place at a precise moment of the year, when nature, with an explosion of scents and colors, celebrates the awakening of spring in the Sicani Valley. It is no coincidence that the structure of the central arches takes shape in a fusion of plant materials, products of nature, an architecture of fruits, essences, smells and what the peasant people can offer to the victorious Christ. Bread, the fruit of hard work in the fields, is the essential decorative element of the architecture of the celebration, in which it takes on a connotative symbolism of the rhythms of the life of a people.

The "arches of bread" of San Biagio Platani are a particular tradition that takes place in the city of San Biagio Platani, in the province of Agrigento, Sicily. These arches are made for the Easter festivities and consist of large structures of woven and decorated bread. The preparation of the bread arches requires craftsmanship and considerable commitment from the local community. The women of the village gather to weave bread and create elaborate designs and decorations. The woven loaves are then assembled to form the arches, which are exhibited in various areas of the country. Bread bows are considered a symbol of celebration and abundance and are a way to celebrate Easter and share its joy with the whole community. During Easter week, residents and visitors can admire the bread arches and participate in religious processions and celebrations that take place in the area. The tradition of bread arches in San Biagio Platani is an example of how Italian communities have developed unique forms of cultural expression linked to religious holidays. These local traditions help preserve the history and identity of the communities and are often an occasion to gather and celebrate together.

It is said that the wooden crucifix was carved in 1200 by a shepherd who used the wood of a tree. He managed to carve all of the Christ except the head. Legend has it that the already sculpted head was found by the shepherd at the foot of an oak called the "celsa di lu Signuri"; but the incredible thing is that that same oak, later, was struck by lightning and it remained a stumped trunk, in the shape of a cross.
