Christian celebrations
With a strongly Roman Catholic population, Christian celebrations are
of huge importance. This is particularly evident at Christmas and Easter,
but any Sunday is a good Sunday for getting a taste of Polish devoutness
and religious fervour. All the churches (and they are truly in good
supply) fill up beyond their capacity during the Sunday masses.
Local Feasts
Small local feasts, fairs and contests, often dependent upon local
folklore, occur throughout Poland, with a pleasing glut in early summer
and early autumn.
