Polish customs

11
NEW YEAR
New Year - January 1st is a holiday
celebrated at the beginning of a new calendar
year. To establish the date was not a simple
matter. In Poland, January 1st is the day of the
New Year of 1630, on this day family and friends
made ??a wish for the coming year to be happy, or
at least not worse than the year that is leaving.
12
ADVENT
It is a four -week waiting period for the feast
of Christmas , the time of concentration,
fasting, prayer and worship . Advent was a time
when in the past the neighbors organised meetings
when they carried out household chores. The time
passed chatting , gossiping, matching young
couples and carol singing . When the boys go from
house to house with the crib , singing Christmas
carols was a sign that the Nativity of the Lord
is near.As far as the ecclesiastical rites , the
so called Roraty in Polish or Morning Prayer
(Holy Mass pleading for the coming of the Savior)
is celebrated in all the churches during Advent
at dawn
13
ASH WEDNESDAY
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in the
Western Christian calendar. Occurring 46 days
before Easter, it is a movable feast. Ash
Wednesday marks the beginning of this 40-day
liturgical period of prayer and fasting or
abstinence. Ash Wednesday derives its name from
the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads
of adherents as a celebration and remminder of
human mortality and as a sign of mourning and
repentance to God. The ashes used are typically
gathered from the burning of the palms from the
previous year's Palm Sunday
14
MARZANNA
Marzanna is a pagan springtime festival in
Poland that signals the end of winter. It usually
takes place on the fourth Sunday of Lent. On this
day a straw or rag effigy of Marzanna is
constructed, sometimes by school children who
then throw her into a river or a lake to drown
her because the effigy is imbued with the
negative qualities of the long, cold winter. This
old custom predates Christian rites, so Marzanna
is not universally observed throughout Poland.
15
Chrismas
Christmas Day, called the first holiday by the
Poles, is spent with the family at home. This is
a day of enjoyment, for Jesus was born. On
Christmas Day, people start to observe the
weather very closely. It is believed that each
day foretells the weather for a certain month of
the following year.
16
PALM SUNDAY
Palm Sunday is a Christian's movable feast
that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast
commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into
Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four
canonical Gospels. In many Christian
churches, Palm Sunday includes a procession of
the assembled worshipers carrying palms,
representing the palm branches the crowd
scattered in front of Jesus as he rode into
Jerusalem.
17
ALL SAINTS - All Souls' Day ( November 1st and
2nd )
All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows,
Solemnity of All Saints, or The Feast of All
Saints) is celebrated on 1st November in
Poland in honour of all the saints, known and
unknown. It is the day before All Souls' Day
