Europa: The Cross and the Red Star

on BBC Two England

In Russia, pilgrims flock to the ancient monasteries of their faith to be blessed, despite the threat of arrest as loiterers. In Yugoslavia, the sick and maimed travel hundreds of miles to a shrine to pray for recovery. In Hungary, young people crowd into the cathedral of Budapest for a pop communion service.
TV cameras from West and East Europe witness that religion still survives in Communist countries today, despite 50 years of atheist propaganda. And this is the story which Europa tells tonight.
