Easter Sunday History:
The day of Resurrection, the most important days for Christians, starts at 6am, with a special Mass commencing with a procession around the church to the accompaniment of all the church bells. Easter Sunday ends this period of Lent and the contemplation of death. This day brings joy for eternal life for believers and the joy of Christ Resurrected. It is also a special day with hymns in churches. Families gather at the Easter breakfast table and many journey to visit their relatives from all parts of Poland and lately parts of Europe as Polish citizens have emigrated in large numbers to other countries in the EU. Before Easter breakfast starts, the food that was blessed on Saturday is distributed and eaten, accompanied by special wishes. This is a family day and Poles spend it together with their closest relatives at the table eating many dishes prepared for this day then taking family walks. As Lent was not the proper time for a marriage many weddings take place on this day.
