ZAGREB, 1 April (Hina) - The 23rd edition of the festival of "Žudije", men, clad in traditional costumes or in ancient Roman costumes, who are in charge of guarding tombs of Christ in their parishes on Holy Tridum, was held on Easter Monday in Lobor, northwestern Croatia.
The event brought together tomb guardians from 29 Catholic parishes.
The first edition of the festival was held in the Marija Bistrica Marian shrine, and after that, most of these festivals took place in Dalmatia where the guarding of the Tomb of Christ is a century-old custom.
