Christmas Eve

On Christmas eve in Poland we usually look for the first star to start the supper. We put some hay under the table-cloth and on the table we put an additional plate for an unexpected guest. We read a fragment of the Holy Bible about the Jesus birth. Before the supper we divide a wafer and wish each other Merry Christmas etc.

In Poland we usually have 12 dishes on Christmas eve supper – it is a tradition. We usually have: barsh (a beetroot soup with small dumplings with mushrooms), fish (usually it is a carp), potatoes, cabbage with peas or cabbage with mushrooms, compote made of prunes (dried plums), and the best … a dessert made with honey, milk, poppy seeds, raisins, nuts, coconuts, almond and cut rolls.

Parents make some delicious cakes for our children, for

Christmas Eve at our school.
