St.Stanislaus Procession

[Jaga]

It takes place in May.... I forgot to ask Pawian to do some pictures. This procession which starts in Wawel Cathedral and finishes in teh Church on the Rock is very pictoresque!

Jaga,
The women in pictures 11 & 12 - who are they? No, I don't mean their names - but I have never seen their costumes before - I assume it is a special type? Do you know?

I would also be interested in knowing about picture 17.

and more about this procession, too..

My father and brother were named Stanislaus (Stanley)....

Holly,

these might be either the women from Zywiec area or some special bride costumes
check here different Polish costumes, not all look like Krakow costume

Nancy,

just a typical store like from the odpust (jarmark, folk market)

Holly,

I guess I was right! I doublechecked the Zywiec. Zywiec is not far from Krakow and is also famous for its browaries. See here:
