Eastern Holy Sepulchral Guard (Polish: Turki Wielkanocne)

On the first Sunday of Easter dozens of people crowd in Grodzisko Dolne (6 km away from Leżajsk) for the Holy Sepulchral Guard (Turki Wielkanocne) parade. When the mass comes to an end hundreds of brigades march along the main street in Grodzisko Dolne heading for a local stadium. Uniforms of Turki Wielkanocne differ completely from one another. It stems from different roots and traditions. Their uniforms look closely like those ceremonial uniforms from centuries ago.
