In all of Poland, regardless of the region, there will be a house, where Christmas Eve is celebrated. It’s a holiday, which is very special for Polish Tradition. We celebrate them on December 24, a day before Christmas. Already in the morning all families take care of cleaning, shopping and preparation of dishes. At the end, everybody decorating a Christmas tree. Christmas Eve, has customs, traditions and many rituals. We meet at one table, forgetting about sorrows and problems. We make wishes for the new year. After sharing the wafer, we sit down to the Christmas Eve supper. There’s a lot of dishes defined by regional and family traditions. Some families consider 12 dishes should be served, as its the number of months and disciples of Jesus. In other houses odd number of dishes are served . There are 5, 7, 9 or 11 of them. Because of the fast, meat dishes are not served. Most of popular dishes are beetroot soup witch ravioli, fish soup, dumplings, cabbage witch peas and carp. Christmas Eve is a beautiful day in Polish tradition.
Greetings!
