Traditionally, our students focus on the Easter holidays in the form of a work of art.
We associate Easter with colorful Easter eggs, lots of delicious food, Śmigus Dyngus, and many other pleasant things.
Easter is the oldest and most important Christian holiday. Among the oldest traditions of this holiday are:
Easter Sunday (also known as Passion Sunday, Resurrection Sunday) is the first day of Easter. In Poland, the solemn resurrection (Latin: resurrectio) is celebrated in the morning, which dates back to the Middle Ages.
Upon returning home, the family sits down to a solemn Easter breakfast, which begins with making wishes and sharing the Easter basket. There are eggs, meat, Easter cake, and mazurkas on the tables. The tables are decorated with bouquets of broomsticks and first spring flowers.
Easter Monday (also known as Wet Monday, Śmigus-dyngus) is the second day of Easter. According to Polish tradition, on this day people jokingly pour water on other people, even strangers. Pouring water refers to ancient pagan customs associated with the symbolic awakening of nature to life and the renewable ability of the earth to give birth every year. To this day, in villages in southern Poland, the custom of sprinkling the field with holy water by the owners on Monday morning has been preserved.
On the occasion of Easter, we wish all students and their families a healthy and cheerful Easter holiday, abundance on the Christmas table, delicious eggs and spring mood in the family circle.
