I will tell you about holy wafers, about hay under the tablecloth, about the famous, glittering Cracow nativities, the costumed carolers, the speaking animals, the first star, szopkas, piernikis, and pierogis.
From red beet borscht to kutia pudding, if you follow along you will be able to celebrate Christmas Eve with the traditional twelve dishes.
And then we'll do some caroling.
Stay tuned!

Although I am Czech, I think many of the traditions are the same. It will be a lot of fun to follow along on the blog!

ReplyDeleteKat, when my mum saw that, she was appalled. Kielbasa?? MEAT PIEROGIS? ON CHRISTMAS EVE???
ReplyDeleteNever, never.
After reading today's post about how Christmas Eve is treated as a fast, I can see why. Goofiness tends to trump accuracy in Veggie Tales' silly songs segments.
ReplyDeleteThe silly thing is all of these foods can be made without meat (except kiełbasa) and they are served meatless on Christmas Eve. On the other hand, faworki, like pączki, are a carnival treat.
