We have written about a few ways to live through Lent and prepare oneself for Easter. Finally, the time has come to experience the most important Christian holiday itself.

The creeping secularization of Christian holidays is often illustrated by how "Happy Holidays" replaced "Merry Christmas" on gift cards and Coca-Cola's Santa elbowed St. Nicholaus away from the scene. Few people pay attention to what is happening to Easter.

Indeed they were given pussies from pussy willows to swallow after coming back home from the mass on Palm Sunday, which was meant to keep children strong and healthy. But there is much more to the symbolism of palms on that day than a few rustic superstitions.

As the life around is waking up with a fresh boost, the pro-life movement in Poland also comes back with new power to stand against the "culture of death".

When in Cracow, make sure you do not miss the chance to visit a thousand year old monastery in Tyniec, which has been with us almost since the beginning of Polish statehood.

It came as a bit of a shock to my friend living in Poland that a box of eggs is not really a dozen. Why is that?

The notorious Article 13 has been passed today in EU Parliament, despite numerous protests against it throughout many member countries.

It was burned, rewritten, banned, accepted, and finally: available and recommended. And, oh, how we craved for it.

If it is 21st of March and you see packs of kids parading with an effigy of a woman, and then burning and drowning it afterwards, please hold your horses of outrage. They are not some radical activists of the mythical patriarchy, but rather children celebrating an ancient Slavic tradition.

As the ever-growing leniency towards obeying the teachings of the Church has failed to attract hardly anyone with serious intentions to follow Christ, a Polish priest named Fr Jacek Stryczek proposed approaching the issue from the other end of the spectrum and, together with a group of his co-workers, invented the Extreme Way of the Cross.

Fashion is all about showing off. There are trends in clothing, sports, hobbys, graphic design, and even diet. But outright fasting? How did that become a thing in Poland?

The music slows down, friends leave the party, cheerful atmosphere fades away, and you are left alone with your thoughts on where your life is going. This is how it might feel when the carnival ends and you go to church on Wednesday to be reminded that you are nothing but ash and dust.

The last week before Lent is a festive and joyful time in many, at least traditionally, Catholic countries. Some dance in the streets, others organize parties, but we in Poland make it simple: we eat pączki, lots of them, and we do it on Thursday.

Rafako has signed a PLN 207.5 million (gross) agreement with Gaz-System to build the Kędzierzyn compressor station. This sixteenth gas compressor station in Poland is planned to be finished by the Spring of 2021.
