Nothing can hinder the beauty of this grand old tradition which highlights the influence of Christianity on the island. Three religious orders still thrive there so a holy procession is held with particular candles that are carried and named according to weight ‘Zero, Primo and others’. The highlight is the ‘Moreška’, a double sword dance dating from the 17th century which depicts a spectacular battle. See the sparks fly as swords clash, a symbol of the island’s freedom struggle. <strong>Korčula</strong>
