In Poland a lot of holidays is related to catholic religion. Because my country has a long and rich history connected to the catholic religion.

It grows out from our tradition and culture. Which begins with the year 966 N. E. when Poland was baptized, the symbol of the Polish nation to join the Christian world.

Therefore, all our history is inevitably linked to the Catholic religion, with big believers, martyrs for the faith, and so for generations.

But I must admit that my country is very complicated and turbulent history.

The Partitions of Poland between Russia, Prussia and Austria, insurrection, two world wars, communism... It is, therefore faith in hard times supported the spirit of the nation.

As for me, my favorite holiday is Christmas. But these commercial, for which it only matters how much to sell.

Along the way, forgetting what what is the essence of the holidays and what exactly was going to celebrate.

It is not here the most important Claus bringing gifts, or a sumptuous table, Christmas tree with ornaments.

But the fact that the day of Christ's birth, was born in a humble shed, in order to save the world. He came to every human being.

Therefore, it is a time when people forgive each other, family come together at the table to enjoy the time spent together.

This is a time of miracles. And everyone is waiting for the holidays. In Poland, December 24 is Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas. That evening, sit down to dinner called Christmas Eve.

According to tradition, the Christmas table should be in 12 meatless dishes, symbolizing the 12 apostles. The main dish is carp, dumplings with cabbage and mushrooms, beetroot soup.

Under the cloth should be hay, symbolizing the birth of Jesus in the stable.Before eating, the family prays, and is divided into the communion wafer, making a wish. After that it is possible to start eating.

Important thing is the Christmas tree, dressed up, and made ​​for her gifts, which enjoy particularly children.

Sing carols and songs of the birth of Christ.

And at 24:00 the night goes on solemn Mass called the Midnight Mass to commemorate the shepherds who first saw the new-born child of God.

Next day ie December 25 or Christmas, and December 26 called the second day of Christmas. In Poland are non-working days. On these days, usually family and friends visit each other... So it looks at a glance...

Warm greetings
