Easter in our countries | Page 3

On Holy Friday an exceptional Mass takes place - „Way of the Cross” - then the last moments of Jesus Christ`s life is read out from the Bible. Saturday, according to the old Polish tradition, is the day when the so called „holy menu” is blessed by the priest at church. That is the final point of Easter preparation: houses are already cleaned and all the dishes for 2-day-feast should be ready, as when the „blessed food" is in the house, there is not any more right to do preparation work. It is the time of reflection and vigil in church at the symbolic tomb of Jesus Christ.
