christmas time in poland
TRANSCRIPT
Christmas is one of the most solemnly
celebrated festivals in Poland…
On 24 December Polish people celebrate Christmas
Eve - ,,Wigilia’’ . They decorate Christmas tree with
baubles, chains and candies.
On Christmas Eve Polish people eat dinner with their
families - it starts when in the sky appears the first star.
We have a lot of traditional dishes. For example - ,,Barszcz
Czerwony z Uszkami'' and ,,Kapusta z Grochem'' (“Red
borsch” with dumplings and “Cabbage with peas”).
On Christmas Eve Polish people sing Christmas carols. The
most popular is ,,Przybieżeli do Betlejem’’ (“They came to
Bethlehem”).
Christmas Eve is completed with a special Mass in the
chuch at midnight - ,,Pasterka’’.
The 25 and 26 December are Christmas holidays. People in
Poland usually meet with their families and friends. Most
people celebrate at home, but some people go away to
relax away.
On Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This
festival is very important to me. I love the family
atmosphere that I feel during Christmas!
