Easter

In 325, during the Council of Nice, it was agreed that Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first spring full moon. It is the Paschal full moon and falls after 21 March. Easter therefore falls between 22 March and 25 April.

Today, Easter is connected with many folk traditions and customs. Easter breakfasts are still alive. Easter eggs, holy food and beautiful Easter palms are created. The popularity of the so called 'śmigus-dyngus' is not decreasing.

Liturgical Easter begins with Easter Eve, on Saturday after dawn. The solemn Resurrection procession takes place, depending on the region, around midnight or at dawn on Sunday.

In Poland, traditionally, both Easter days - Sunday and Monday - are statutory holidays. In some countries the celebration of Easter is slightly different. For example, in Spain the most important period is Semana Santa, which is the native Holy Week. This is when huge night processions take place all over the country, remembering the passion of Christ. The Spaniards do not go to work so rather on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
