Christmas traditions in Poland

The first star, beautifully adorned Christmas tree and the wafer is one of the most important symbols of Christmas. It is important to know these characters and their associated traditions.


First Star

It symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem, whose appearance was accompanied by the birth of Jesus. Thanks to the shepherds, the Magi could reach the place of birth of the Savior. Today we expect the first star, which appears on the Christmas Eve sky.Only when she can shine, according to tradition, to sit at the table and divide the wafer.


Wafer

Its name comes from the Latin word oblatum and means the same as the offering. This is nothing but a thin piece of baked flour and water. Appear on the images associated with Christmas. Sharing the bread has its roots in pagan traditions.As time passed it permanently to the Christian traditions, and today we share the wafer before the Christmas Eve supper, we offer you wish. Wishes, they offered themselves while sharing the wafer should be sincere, forgive yourself if all the guilt, to sit down to dinner reconciled and pure hearts.

Carols

We begin to sing them at the Christmas table. These are songs that tell of the Nativity of the Lord. Their name comes from Latin - calendae, which meant the first day of the month. The first "Christmas carols" were sung by the Romans in the solemn celebration of the first of January, then took the habit of singing songs of Christians to worship the birth of Jesus. The oldest Polish Christmas carol is "Healthy or angelic king," and comes from around 1420.


Gifts

The nicest, for many, Christmas custom. Today they are mainly associated with Christmas. Originally this custom was associated only with the person of St. Nicholas, now, for Luther, we assume that these are gifts to baby Jesus.


Stable of

In it, Jesus was born. He is also a symbol of ourselves. We are like a little stable, which is not always clear, which is intertwined good and evil. But it is to the stable, and therefore to us, ordinary people, Jesus is coming, brightens our lives and gives us hope, love and faith. God is born in us!
