Kolędowanie a Success!

1/12/2015

 
To welcome in the New Year 2015, Lajkonik and many guests experienced the fine tradition of "Kolędowanie" at Holy Trinity Polish Mission.  

The event was featured in an article in Dziennik Związkowy, the Polish Daily News - click here for the story and photos!

The tradition of kolędowanie (caroling), sometimes known as „wassailing”, is typically celebrated in Poland between the Feast of St. Stephen and the Feast of the Epiphany, sometimes even longer.  Children and young adults would gather and visit neighboring homes. They sing and dance, sometimes offering impromptu skits and performances for their gracious hosts.  They extend well wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year. The hosts offer well wishes in return, as well as a delicious meal and monetary gifts.
