Comment on Ash Wednesday 2015 by Theophilia
Now even 40 days of preparation to go with Jesus to accompany him on the way to calvary ... Not only spiritually (which of course is very important), but also physically, by participating in the annual mysteries of passion in the "Poland Jerusalem" - Kalwaria Zebrzydowska (sanctuary of our Lady of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska [I am a worshipper of Our Lady in this lovely image of Our lady of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, and in this painting worshiped by all of his Holy life from an early age to our Saint Pope John Paul II to Calvary visiting as a small boy with his father, after the death of his Mom (then his father told him that now it will be his Mom - Our Lady of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska), as a student, priest, Bishop, Cardinal and Pope) www.pawlowski.dk/attachments/I… ], It is also the shrine of passion, namely around the monastery of Bernardine fathers and the Basilica of our Lady of the angels on the surrounding hills and hollows of there is a beautiful barogue pilgrimage park with chapels and great old trees, during the passion and death of Jesus, from the entry of the Lord into Jerusalem by expelling the merchants from the temple, feast on Thomas last supper, betrayal of Judas, the prayer in the garden of Gethsemane, the catch, the Court in Annas and Caiaphas, Pilate, Herod and the Court The way of the cross and the Entombment ... ("Tracks of the Lord Jesus"), and sorrows, the Dormition and assumption of the Our lady ("Tracks of the Our Lady"). The shrine is founded around the year 1600, of the Cracow City Councilman - Nicholas Zebrzydowski from build on top of the intense heat of the chapel of the crucifixion, then he noticed the similarity in the topography between the Valley of the river Skawa ("Bottom"), and the top of the Żarek mount ("Calvary") and Lanckorona mount ("mount of olives"), that is very similar to the topography of Jerusalem; and then he began to fetch the following chapels of the stations of the cross, then his descendants were put up by wealthy following chapels associated with the passion of the Lord Jesus. kalwaria.wkraj.pl/?EN#/57053/2… kalwaria.wkraj.pl/?EN#/56421/2… old.kalwaria.eu/images/x_t_map…; When in the 17th century, the monastery was a wonderful picture began a Marian devotion, so they built chapels associated with sleep and the Ascension of the Our Lady. www.kalwaria.eu/kroniki/150820… www.kalwaria.EU/17082014-proce…. html. From 413 years at Calvary in the Big holy week (Palm Sunday - Jesus ' entry into Jerusalem, expelling the merchants from the Temple of Jerusalem www.kalwaria.eu/kroniki/130420…; Big Wednesday - Feast in Simon, betrayal of Judas www.kalwaria.eu/kroniki/wielka…; Maundy Thursday - the last supper, the transition from a Bottom and the last instruction, prayer in the garden of Gethsemane, the Catch, the Court in Annas and Caiaphas www.kalwaria.eu/kroniki/wielki…; and Good Friday - Morning Court Caiaphas, Pilate and Herod court , the Conviction of the Lord Jesus to death, way of the cross, Adoration of the cross, the Entombment www.kalwaria.eu/kroniki/wielki…) are held every year, the mysteries of the passion that are played by amateur actors (brothers and local residents), texts are based only on the texts of the Gospel, which attract colonies of many crowds of pilgrims (Normal arund the 80 000 pigimirs, some times 100 000 pilgimires). It is a beautiful tradition in such a beautiful setting, and public profession of faith and spiritual experience feast of the passion, death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Unfortunately, the relationship of these mysteries of the passion are in Polish language and there is no translation into English, but I recommend you watch them, and facilitating is that scenes are played only with the Gospel and according to texts of the Gospels, so you will not have a problem with the diagnosis of a given scene or issue

Wow, that's really beautiful! Thanks for all of the links! I wish we had something more like that in the States!
I will try this year to go there with a camera and in addition to the spiritual experience of the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ , I would like to see with my own eyes this beautiful tradition of ordinary people with their great faith and the beauty of the landscape (But funny from my youngest years often go there to Calvary on these tracks, but never on the mystery I wasn't)
