The procession on the island of Hvar did not take place only during World War II, 1944, due to German occupation and the ban, but it was held far away, in the wilderness of the desert at the Allied camp El-Shatt in Egypt, where tens of thousands of people ended up who fled Dalmatia and the islands. Unlike the Hvar procession, the procession there lasted only three hours, followed by a sandstorm, but it made a strong impression on all present.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9d40e3f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9d40e3f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-023b167\" data-id=\"023b167\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2178c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f2178c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/mediterraneandietunesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Vrboska.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2900\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mediterraneandietunesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Vrboska.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mediterraneandietunesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Vrboska-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c69fe8b\" data-id=\"c69fe8b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60829dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60829dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The preparations that the cross-bearer and his family go through throughout Lent (a month and a half) continue after the procession on the holiest night of the island of Hvar.
