The traditional Easter Emmaus at the Skradinski buk waterfall
On Easter Monday, April 10, the Easter Emmaus will again be celebrated this year at the Skradinski buk waterfall, and entrance is free until 1 p.m. to the Krka National Park for all pilgrims – announced the director of the Krka National Park, Nella Slavica
The Easter Emmaus or rather the Easter Eucharist in nature will be traditionally celebrated this year on Easter Monday at the Skradinski buk waterfall in the Krka National Park. The Eucharistic celebration begins at 11 a.m. in front of the Church of St. Nicholas and will be led by Bishop Tomislav Rogić, while the event has been organized by the Parish of Skradin.
“The entrance to the Skradinski buk waterfall on Easter Monday, April 10, will be free for all pilgrims until 1 p.m, and after that visitors will still be able to purchase a ticket at promotional April prices, which are reduced by twenty-five percent throughout the month,” announced the director of the Krka National Park, Nella Slavica.
Emmaus is a Eucharistic celebration commemorating the meeting of Jesus after the resurrection with disciples in Palestine. Meetings on Easter Monday at Skradinski buk waterfall began in 1996, when a small number of the faithful from Skradin gathered for the first time. Since then, it has become a tradition, and today, on this day, many pilgrims from parishes all over Croatia gather in the National Park to enjoy the Eucharistic fellowship and to dine on consecrated bread in a unique natural environment. The Skradinski buk waterfall in fact represent the last, the seventh, and the longest travertine barrier on the Krka River, and this one of the most unusual and beautiful sites of the Krka National Park.
We invite all the faithful, nature lovers, and friends of the Krka National Park to join us once again this year for mutual congregation and prayer in the natural pearl of our homeland, our Krka National Park.
On the occasion of the upcoming holidays, we wish a happy and blessed Easter!
