Procesija Za Križen - Jelsa

The people’s Procession known as ‘Za Križen’ (‘Following the Cross’) has been taking place between six settlements on the Island of Hvar for some 500 years. The circular walk between Jelsa, Pitve, Vrisnik, Svirče, Vrbanj and Vrboska to honour the symbolic representations of Jesus’ tomb in each place takes the Cross-Bearer, his entourage and followers the whole night between Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. It is a deeply significant event, especially for the Cross-Bearer, who usually dedicates his efforts, sometimes as a personal vow, or in a charitable appeal for a good cause.
