Poland 2000 - National Pilgrimage


Two stamps issued by Poland in 2000 (Michel PL3844-5).

The Latin inscriptions read:  
"Thee, O God, we praise"
and
"The cross stands while the world keeps turning".

On Good Friday, at 9.15pm, the "Way of the Cross" starts at the Colosseum.  The Pope, and onlookers, follow the Stations of the Cross from the Colosseum to the Palatine Hill in a torch-lit procession.  
This is a spectacular event to attend if you happen to be in Rome at that time, regardless of your religious affiliation.
