Following the Cross on Good Friday

The procession for the cross in Brela is a traditional passion heritage and popular devotion held on Good Friday. It starts from the Parish Church of St. Stephen in Brela, passing through Kričak, the church of St. George, Berulia, and the Soline port, then along the seaside promenade to Jakiruša and up a steep climb reminiscent of Calvary, returning to the parish church. Along the way, the parish choir sings the Lord's Passion, and the procession is accompanied and welcomed at the end by the Brela guardians of the Lord's tomb - the Žudije. At the head of the procession is the church cross carried by cross-bearers. In front of their houses, locals and guests greet the procession by kissing the cross.

Procesija za križem u Brelima je breljanska pasionska baština i pučka pobožnost koja se tradicionalno održava na Veliki petak. Kreće se od Župne crkve Svetog Stjepana u Brelima prko Krička, crkve svetog Jurja, Berulije do luke Soline zatim šetnicom uz more do Jakiruše i uz veliki uspon, koji podsjeća na Kalvariju, vraća do župne crkve. Putem župni zbor pjeva Muku Gospodnju, a procesiju isprate i na kraju dočekaju breljanski čuvari Isusova groba- žudije Žudije. Na čelu procesije je crkveni križ koji nose križonoše, Ispred svojih kuća procesiju dočekuju mještani i gosti ljubeći križ.
