FOUND THIS ABOUT CHRISTMAS DAY IN POLAND – I wanted to share it—-
On Christmas Day the village streets are traversed by boys and girls singing carols, and carrying ” SZOPKAS “— miniature stages telling the Nativity story.
Other boys, dressed in costumes depicting King Herod, Death, a Devil, an Angel, a Bishop, and strange beasts, are led by a Star Boy. The ” Festival of the STAR ” is brought to a close on January 6th, Three Kings Day, or in some regions of Poland on Candlemass Day, February 2nd.
From an original painting by
James Flux
