A tiny grey sweatshirt lies on the beach at Steccato di Cutro, it is partially covered with sand, pebbles and debris washed up from the sea. Someone has crafted a small altar beside it, with candles, flowers and a cross.
“May human traffickers be stopped, and may they not continue to throw away the lives of so many innocent people!”On that shore where the bodies of 71 migrants – most of them Afghans and Pakistanis - have been returned from the water, stripped bare by the violence of the waves, the people of Crotone and the surrounding area walk in procession behind an enormous lopsided wooden crucifix.
It's a powerful image, like when the two kneeled together before the 66 bodies lined up on 1 March as they lay in state in the only structure in Cruto large enough to host them. As soon as Bishop Panzetta arrived on the beach, after kissing the cross and blessing those present, he immediately announced that the Stations of the Cross was being held"in union with our Muslim brothers and sisters, to pray together to the one God".Participation was enormous and unexpected.
