About the event

Święconka (Shvjen-tzon-kah) a key element of Polish Easter traditions, is a basket filled with symbolic foods that are blessed at church on Holy Saturday. The foods within the basket, such as eggs, bread, ham, salt, and horseradish, each carry symbolic meaning related to the Resurrection of Christ and the joy of Easter.
