Summary Jesus live . A young man with a lion's mane drags himself year after year almost 8 kilometres through a green Easter landscape in southern Poland. We write the year 1642, "Oberammergau" was not invented yet, the first miracles blossomed here already. Marian apparitions and wounds had to serve as evidence for the holiness of this place from then on. We are in Zebjodovska, a small village near Krakow. All Easter, a group of hundred laymen fights their way through the confusion of the "Passion Story", drags woods, clashes with sabers and wears a selfmade cloth. The story takes place against a breathtaking backdrop. A gigantic monastery, an even bigger church including a forecourt and 40 chapels: a truly worthy ambience for "Kalwaria Zebjodovska", the second largest passion spectacle after Jerusalem. Expert staff - monks, priests and monastic offspring - are always available, and sometimes even exchange the fine silk ornament for a freshly forged Roman shell. Golgatha live at Krakow, history lessons and religious tuition sometimes quite modern. GO EAST mixes with the Polish Romans and celebrates Easter with thousands of onlookers under the cross of Zebjodovska.
