One of the important tasks of pope John Paul II ponti fi cate was interreligious dialogue. Twenty-seven years lasting ponti fi cate, was full in that matter of extremely important words and many still important spectacular gestures. The article reminds those more and those less known pope’s gestures, and it is an attempt of interpretation. The brave gestures of the Pope speak stronger than words, are better remembered and are a constant inspiration to those, who take up the task of interreligious dialogue.
