Krakow, Poland – January 2024 - The Salesian Missionary Volunteer Movement (SWM) "Młodzi Światu" and the Salesians from the Province of Krakow, Poland (PLS), especially the students at the Salesian Seminary (WSDTS), have joined the organisation of the 19th edition of the Three Kings Parade in Krakow. As on every 6 January on the feast of the Epiphany, the Three Kings, with three different small processions (blue – African; green, with the Salesian group – Asian and red – European), have traditionally left from three different points of the city to meet at noon on the main square as a Great Parade and together venerate the newborn Baby Jesus. This year's motto was "Bow down to the king!", inspired by a Christmas carol and two other anniversaries: the Jubilee Year proclaimed by Pope Francis and the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of the first Polish king Bolesław Chrobry. Once again, during the Krakow Parade, a fundraiser was also held for a housing project for the homeless, carried out by the Relief Work of San Padre Pio.
