Floral arrangements of crosses, crosses in the background, other crosses in the background – broken and chaotically scattered, placed on a yellow-blue background – to the main elements of the Holy Sepulcher in the crypt of the Piarist Church in Krakow. Its motive is the war in Ukraine and the fight against suffering that affects all of us.
Every year, the motives of the war in planning the Holy Sepulcher refer to current events – this time it is the one taking place in Ukraine.
“I did not want it to be intrusive and too much, but that someone might come to the point of praying and about this situation – in freedom” – Program by Father Piotr Wiśniowski, author of this year’s arrangement. How to translate on local websites, always establish access to the neighborhood, maintain contacts, maintain the struggle – smaller and larger – is what each of us is involved in.
The back of Gro Pański is highlighted in colors and yellow, and the landscape against them shows destruction and chaos, as well as black, broken crosses. Close to the time of the workshop, you can see where the foundation’s flower also appears, where, next to it, where the monstrance appears.
“In the further part of the tomb there are crosses, parts with the same, we struggle and which we do not have, abandoned, which most willingly; we are unable to find an alternative teaching side with them, or to double them on the same day” – Fr Wiśniowski. “On the other hand, flowering crosses symbolize all but the problems of everyday life, of course, if we go and think with the cross, and look for this good” – which is a monk.
The message from the symbols is that even the worst times had to end, and the problems were finally fought. “There is a hope in all this that it will also go forward – where the Blessed Sacrament is; from death to order and order, from death to death, after the war to peace. To silent prayer for this, ten conflicts as soon as possible “- said Fr Wiśniowski.
