Abstract
I was author of the exhibition displayed for Easter 1992 in the Ethnographic Museum. The display of some exhibits required site visits to Solin, Kaštela, Poljica, Omiš and Jelsa. Contacts with some minor „regional museums“ were done in writing or by telephone. The exhibition was accompanied by a catalogue entitled as the exhibition itself. I noticed differences in such events and customs: sometimes they varied greatly but sometimes only slightly. The most interesting however seemed the procession on the island of Hvar, known as „Following the Crucifix“. This is why, apart from customs in Split and its surroundings, this particular procession together with folk elements is described in more details.
