Happy Easter!
Easter baskets with samples of Easter food, called Swienconka
I’ve just returned from church where we’ve been for the traditional blessing of Easter food. Every family decorates a basket and fill it with samples of the Easter food which will be eaten tomorrow on Easter day. The tradition is only common in east European catholic countries and the church is always filled with people and baskets.
Happy Easter to all of you!

Happy Easter to you too! I’m actually currently sitting in Poland writing this comment, having spent Easter here. I’ll write about it on my blog when I get back, but my pictures aren’t so beautiful like yours!
