Happy Easter!!

The best Easter wishes from Narcia






Easter is a very importatnt holiday in Poland. Some more info about Easter in Poland:



"The tradition of Easter celebrations in Poland are as old and elaborate as Christmas celebrations and they involve a lot of preparation and Easter customs. The picture above is of a typical Easter basket, which will be blessed by the local Priest on Easter Saturday and eaten by the family on Easter Sunday." heh, it's really my own basket '^^ I can't wait to eat this eggs xD



"A picture taken of boys filling buckets and water pistols with water drawn from a town water pump on Easter Monday. In Poland this day is known as Śmingus Dyngus and is a tradition, which involves boys running around the villages, towns and cities of Poland throwing water on others. Tradition states that girls who get caught and soaked with water will marry within the year." believe me, it's not so fine if they catch you '^^ I think that this tradition is quite stupid '^^ when I was younger, many times I was sooo wet brrrr... now I'm more carefull and I don't go out nowhere in this day... yeah, I stay all day in the house, but my dad always will pour me a little bit water xD



"Easter in Poland: the interior of a typical Church on Easter Saturday (Święconka). In the background is a special Christmas altar. On this day baskets containing a variety of food is brought to the Church to be blessed by the local Priest. Typically the Easter basket might contain sausage; cake (particularly babka); hard-boiled, decorated eggs; butter; and salt. The food is then set aside to be eaten on the following day, Easter Sunday." sometimes this places are really beautiful...

now I will show you Pisanki (Polish Easter eggs) they are only handmade, very delicate and light, coz this egg are mostly empty inside (empty egg shell) ...

Independence Day

Tommorrow (11.11) is a Polish Independence Day =)

Here is a short (and maybe uninteresting '^^) note about historical facts:
"90 years ago, after 123 years of partitions by Austro-Hungary (Austria+Hungary), Prussia (now Germany) and Russia, Poland reappeared on the map of Europe as a sovereign democratic state. The process of restoration of Poland's independence was gradual; the date chosen is the one on which Józef Piłsudski assumed control of Poland. The Independence Day was constitued in 1937 and was celebrated only twice before World War II. In Peoples' Republic of Poland (PRL) the holiday was moved into 22 July, when pro-soviet government kept control in Poland. Since 1989 the Independence Day was moved into 11 November. 61% of Poles said that November 11 is the most important Polish holiday."

In this day many Polish families go on military march pasts, which gets organized in many cities. This is not demonstration of military strength of our country, but only celebration tradition of our army and country. Soldiers march in old historical army uniforms, so people (especially children) have chance get to know more about our past. Personally, I like this day. When I was little kid, my parents took me to Warsaw on march past '^^ It was always a Big Day for me =) I like the most soldiers on horses =)

Clip about ...

We have many reasons to by proud of our history. The past never was easy for us and when we already regained our independence, then (after only 21 years) Second World War was began. Sometimes, I thik that we are unlucky nation '^^ "Always wind in eyes" o.O We are between two strong countrys: Germany and Russia. And they always want take control over us, a small and "weak" Poland. But as you see, we still exist ...

I don't know why, but always when our country have big problems, people mobilize for his good. They fight, sacifice their life (even the kids, our "small soldiers" and scouts) like during 2nd World War. But when is time of peace it seems we are not the same. Many of us don't know the most important dates for our history. Maybe even I don't know all Y__Y Shame on me, because I wrote my "examination of maturity" about world and Polish history '^^

If somebody want to know more about 2nd World War in Poland, then he can watch this movies: "Europa, Europa" (1990, Agnieszka Holland, Gold Globe & Oscar nomination), "Schindler's List" (1993, Steven Spielberg, seven Oscar's) and "The Pianist" (2002, Roman Polański, three Oscar's & six César's).

and photos of celebrations our Independens Day:

1st November ...

1st November in Poland ... it's not like "Halloween" on west (or countries not in Europe) ... for us this day is important, a little bit sad and serious ... we calls this day "All saints day" (well, something like this '^^) ... we visit family graves, we set on fire many ever-burning fires (or candles), we meet with families, we talk and think about these, which went away already, and mostly we pray for deceaseds' souls ...

I think that every of us have this kind of holiday, but in different countries or cultures we differently celebrate it ... and I wanted only show you how this holiday is celebrating in Poland '^^

about Polish music '^^

I love my country '^^ we have great history, great culture, beautiful nature, nice people, strange but very goog food, like bigos, pierogi '^^ but our music stage is not so great at all '^^ well, we don't have nothing special to show XD excepting this few artists '^^
