Lentorama 2019: Resurrect My Globe!
Day 23: Fiji
Worshipers on the island of Viti Levu spend Holy Week on something called a Cross Walk, where they carry a replica of the cross from the capital of Suva to Nadi, a distance of about 200 kilometers (about 125 miles). It looks like the cross gets handed off from village to village, but I assume there are some especially devoted types who make the entire journey.
I've also found reference to a tradition where several islands share a cross, and it gets floated or swum between islands, but no real information on whether or not this is still done.
