Easter in Poland
- It all starts on Palm Sunday when churchgoers receive dried flower bouquets or willow branches in lieu of palms.
- Their version of Easter eggs is much more elaborate and intricate. Called pisanki, they are painted with delicate, ornamental floral patterns.
- On Easter Monday, the Poles celebrate “Wet Monday,” in which boys and men pour water on women and girls, although in recent years the tradition has evolved into water fights where no one is safe.
- Warsaw also is home to the Beethoven Easter Festival, which hosts a classical music program through Holy Week.
