Swieconka, is the Basket Blessing Ceremony, that takes place on the Saturday before Easter.
We sat out in front of the church at the Rynek and snapped pictures of people as they went into St. Mary's. On our way to the square, we pass several churches and each one had a steady stream of basket toting folks. The baskets are filled with items for the Easter morning breakfasts. Bread butter horseradish salt kielbasa cakes, maybe some chocolates, remember lent is over now! These items are sprinkled with holy water and blessed for the families. It was another cold but sunny day, so we lingered around the Easter Market and ate kielbasa and mushrooms and potatoes, soo goood!
