Easter is a very important
holiday in Poland. Holy Week
begins on Palm Sunday. On this
day people bring Easter palms to
the church .
Before Easter people prepare
traditional „pisanki” –
coloured eggs with handcraft
ornaments.
On Easter Saturday
people take food to church to be blessed.
In the basket there is
meat, bread, eggs, salt and cake.
A traditional Easter Meal starts around
noon and it consist of hard-boiled eggs, cold meat and salads. At the end of the meal
people often eat cheesecake, mazurkas and Easter Cake. After
meal children go outside and look for
presents and chocolate eggs. Next, people go to church
for Mass.
On Wet Monday people go
outside and pour water on one another.
This tradition is called
’’śmigus-dyngus”.
People like Easter
decorations. You can find
them everywhere. In the house and
shops, on windows, doors
etc.
Thanks for watching!
