Celebrating Polish Traditions: Christmas, Easter, Independence Day, and Weddings

In Poland, significant traditions shape our cultural celebrations. Christmas features tree decorating, Nativity scenes, and a festive supper with twelve dishes on December 24. At midnight, we join Midnight Mass. Easter includes blessed food baskets, festive breakfasts, and gifts from the Easter Bunny. Independence Day marks our freedom, celebrated with various town festivities. Weddings are noteworthy, with church ceremonies, vows, celebratory meals, and a midnight veil removal symbolizing a new life together. These customs cherish our heritage and bring families together.
