There are probably hundreds of recipes of Easter stuffed eggs, but I’ll share the recipe used by my mother that I find the easiest and most delicious.
Easter in Poland is rich with both solemn religious observances and joyful folk traditions. One of the most cherished and lively customs is Śmigus-Dyngus, celebrated on Easter Monday. Known also as Wet Monday, this unique tradition combines water fights, springtime rituals, and age-old courtship customs into one unforgettable holiday.
Each spring, as flowers bloom and days grow longer, children around the world excitedly take part in one of Easter’s most playful and cherished traditions: the Easter egg hunt. This festive activity, which blends joy, symbolism, and community spirit, is much more than just a game—it’s a cultural tradition with roots that reach deep into history.
As the vibrant season of Easter approaches, one of Poland’s most colorful and meaningful traditions returns to churches and homes across the country and among Polish communities abroad: the crafting and blessing of Easter palms, or palmy wielkanocne. Deeply rooted in Christian symbolism and regional folklore, these unique creations are more than just decorative branches—they are living symbols of faith, renewal, and cultural identity.
As Easter approaches, children across the United States prepare for colorful egg hunts, while Polish families—both in Poland and around the world—take part in a cherished tradition known as święconka, or the blessing of the Easter baskets. Deeply rooted in Poland’s history and Catholic faith, święconka remains one of the most beloved customs celebrated on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday.
