Weather permitting, in line with the Polish Tradition this blessing will take place in the Church Grounds. Bring your baskets to the steps of the church. Unlike Poland we will only have the one blessing, that will take place at 12.00 Noon. As part of the Liturgy we will sing some Polish Hymns, so brush up on your hymns and ensure your singing voice is in good order.
The custom of blessing food is to mark the end of a strict Lenten Fast. The three-part blessing is for the contents of the basket: meat, eggs cakes & bread.
Bread the Manna you fed to your people in the desert and in which you give yourself to us in the Eucharist. Cold cuts of meat in memory of the paschal lamb and eggs and Pisanki to share among families and friends as a sign of the Resurrection and New Life.
