Food served on Easter in Poland and their significance are:

  • eggs, which are symbolic of life and the resurrection of Jesus
  • bread, which symbolizes Jesus
  • lamb, which represents Christ Jesus
  • salt, representative of purification
  • horseradish - symbolizes the sacrifice of Christ
  • ham, which symbolizes great abundance and joy

Decorated Eggs

People in Poland take coloring and decorating eggs far beyond what many countries do. In Poland, decorating eggs is a craft. Many traditional Polish symbols such as the lamb, cross and Easter greetings adorn the eggs.

Eggs decorated with treated wax are called Pisanki. Gluing colored paper or shiny fabric onto the eggs is another technique used. Malowanki or kraszanki eggs are painted one color. Etching patterns into the paint with a sharp instrument creates eggs called skrobanki or rysowanki.
