Easter socks - proposals for Easter
Easter is an extraordinary time when we meet with our loved ones and celebrate moments together. Easter traditions often depend on the region of Poland, and on the family itself, which sometimes creates its own customs. If you do not have a common tradition in your family, and you want to have one, nothing lost! You can create it on your own, and this fact will certainly contribute to a closer bond. The inspiration may turn out to be... colorful socks. Crazy geometrical patterns are just asking to become an inspiration for the artist's hands. Maybe it is the motifs from funny socks that will also decorate eggs this year. Painting Easter eggs is an activity that has a lot of advantages. First of all, this is the time you can spend with your loved ones. Manual work is usually accompanied by a joyful atmosphere, which encourages confiding and telling funny anecdotes. It is also a lesson in patience. If you think you are a person who cannot focus on anything, creating an Easter egg will give you double the joy. Not only will you be able to admire the effects of your work, but you will also prove to yourself that nothing is impossible for you.
Traditional holly
One of the indispensable parts of Easter is the traditional carnival. On Easter Saturday, Catholics go to churches to consecrate food. Wicker baskets are usually decorated with a white doily, boxwood branches and flowers. But what is in the basket itself? This depends, among other things, on the region of Poland and the traditions associated with it, but some products are repeated in almost all areas. A lamb, symbolizing the victory of life over death, is indispensable. The holy sacrament cannot also lack eggs. Some people decide to decorate them additionally, creating one-of-a-kind Easter eggs or sprinkles. No matter how they look like, eggs always symbolize the rebirth of life. In the basket, there is also often room for cold meat, sausage and cake. Food is associated with health and abundance. Additionally, baked goods symbolize perfection. Salt is placed in the basket as a sign of purification, while horseradish is a sign of vitality. Most often, wicker items are decorated with boxwood leaves, which are associated with joy. In Poland the tradition of blessing food has been known for centuries, but there are also areas where the custom became popular only in the twentieth century. It arrived relatively late in Kashubia and Silesia. In many Polish homes, in addition to the feast, is also known the tradition of sharing eggs at Easter breakfast. This custom is similar to breaking the wafer on Christmas Eve, during which we wish our loved ones.
