Easter Holidays in Poland

The polish tradition that my cousins and I enjoy and cultivate is painting eggs for Easter. If somebody has any doubts: we were born in '85, '86 and '87 which means that this is not only practiced by children. It is a significant part of our folklore. These are some of this year's pieces of girls Easter art:

If you want your Easter egg to become brown or orange- boil it in hot water together with dry parts of onion. If you prefer other colors try grass for green or betroots for purple.



Easter basket, which is taken on Saturday to the church to bless the food, usually consists of eggs, bread, sasuage and salt and pepper. This food may be eaten during Sunday breakfast.

If you look carefully at the eggs in the basket below, you may see an egg which looks like a flag of Portugal!

My cousins who turned simple eggs into such colorful "things" are Ela and Ula (for curious people- those short forms of their names come from Elżbieta - like Elisabeth and Urszula - like Ursula). Thanks to them for sending the pictures of eggs! :-*
If you're interested in your wedding's professional photo session, french and vegeterian cuisine or you have any problems from the computer science field they may help you!
