EASTER IS COMING
Traditions of Lent and Easter are very vivid in Poland. Easter Monday is a holiday in Poland. Children have Easter weeklong holidays.
Yesterday we celebrated Palm Sunday, the last Sunday before Easter. People all over Poland bring beautifully decorated “palms” to the church. These are not really palms, since palms do not grow in Poland, so they are called Easter palms. They are usually made of the tree branches or simple sticks decorated with flowers, colored papers, etc. Often they reach a size of several meters. The churches are decorated with palms also.
Each region of Poland has its own style of Easter palms. The most magnificent palms come from a region of Poland in Kurpie in Central Poland near Warsaw.
Please, read our two articles with the traditions of Palm Sunday:
