Sixth Procession of Magi in Wroclaw

Data publikacji: Autor:

The Procession of the Magi is traditionally held in Wroclaw. 25 thousand people joined it on last year's Epiphany. This year's play is its sixth in Wroclaw. Before the Procession of the Magi leaves, a rehearsal will be held in Sunday 3 January at 12 pm in Wroclaw's Rynek. "We will be encouraging the citizens of Wroclaw to join the procession and to watch one of the Magi's escort knights in a drill formation," explains the procession\'s organiser Lilianna Sicińska.

The Procession of the Magi is a nativity play performed in the streets of villages, towns and cities throughout Poland and elsewhere.This year's procession is held under the slogan "Mercy Above All". The phrase was coined by Pope Francis I as an allusion to this year's Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.

Everyone can join Wroclaw's procession. The procession leaves Ostrów Tumski at 12.30 pm. Each participant will be given a crown, and Christmas carol songbooks will be distributed. The organisers also encourage the participants to prepare the costumes and the crowns on their own.

A special mobile app with Christmas carol lyrics and guitar fingerings was developed for those who wish to join similar processions all over Poland. The programme was designed by Wroclaw-based Stermedia. Since previous year, an app featuring all former procession routes has been available, including all highlights such as little nativity scenes, medical facilities and children's pick up points).
