DESCRIPTION
Equality in the contemporary world is a still valid topic, but equality in the church, at least for traditionalists sounds like heresy. In a small town in the eastern part of Macedonia every January local pop throws a wooden cross into the river. Hundreds of men jump into the water to get the crucifix. The cross brings happiness and prosperity to person who catches it. And what if it will be a woman? Petrunia does not intend to give up her victory.
