Traditions of LENT in Poland

Lent is celebrated very solemnly in Poland. Since Polish winters were often harsh – Lent season was a justification of the insufficient food supply before the beginning of the next vegetation season in Spring. So, Lent has not only religious significance but it was also caught up in the natural clock of the year.

We have several articles devoted to Lent and Easter in Poland. Check the articles at:
www.polishsite.us/customs-and-religion/easter-and-lent.html
