- [Narrator] Most cathedrals have been

built to withstand the test of time, but not this one.

Welcome to the Easter Arches of Sicily, Italy.

But come quick, they won't last.

Every Easter, the town of San Biagio in Sicily, Italy,

is home to a cathedral made out

of breads, cereals, and pastas.

Visitors are able to wander through the Arches of Bread

and enjoy the detailed designs up close.

The structure is created by locals,

and takes around three months to construct.

The origins of this tradition date back

to ancient times when visiting royals

expected to be greeted with grand displays.

San Biagio was a town of mostly poor farmers,

so they used what they had: bread.

In the mid 18th century the tradition

became a celebration of Easter.

Although the appetizing displays aren't edible,

a walk through the Arches of Bread

is a testament to the city's long history

and the artistic capabilities of its citizens.
