Easter in Poland

Time to prepare

Easter is a very important holiday in Poland. During Easter people spend time with their families and friends. Before Easter people prepare coloured eggs called „pisanki” and traditional dishes like „żurek” – a special soup.

Holy week

Holy week lasts from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. On Palm Sunday people take palms to church to be blessed. On Easter Saturday people go to church to bless their food.

Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday people go to church to celebrate Resurrection of Jesus Christ. After mass people go back home and have traditional Easter meal which consists of hard boiled eggs, cold meat and salads. After that children go to check their gifts.

Wet Monday

On Wet Monday children go outside and pour water on one another. Older men go to pour water or perfumes on women. This tradition is called „śmingus-dyngus”.
