The procession Za križen every year starts at exactly at 22 hours so that six Processions start simultaneously from six Parish churches from the middle part of the island, in villages Vrbanj, Vrboska, Jelsa, Pitve, Vrisnik and Svirče. Every Procession revolves in that big circle, so that at 7 in the morning every one would return in its own starting point.
Emergence of the Procession is bound to the Crucifix of Sveti križić (Croatian: Holly Little Cross), that is kept in the Hvar Cathedral since 1510.
