Tomek Gola | fikcja.pl - Wedding of the Pentecostal Gypsy


 
Wedding of the Pentecostal Gypsy
Gypsy community of Bystrzyca Kłodzka.

"We are facing harrasments from two sides. One, because we are Gypsy, two, because we are Pentecostal, which is believed to be a sect" - says Andrzej Walawski, pastor of congregation of Bystrzyca.

The day of Wedding of Tymoteusz and Daria. A short chapter of life of the community. But this day can be thought of as a magnifying glass to look into the gypsy nature, as well as the influence of their belief in Christ.

Tomek, cameraman on the wedding: "I was on a couple of weddings of white folks, where there was no alcohol. After few hours of heavy atmosphere the parties died. And here? I've never seen a party like this!"
