We are excited to have a special Easter blessing again this year on Holy Saturday at noon. Święconka (pronounced Shfen-tsonka), meaning “the blessing of the Easter baskets,” is one of the most enduring and beloved Polish traditions on Holy Saturday during Easter, and is observed all over the world. Traditional baskets are full of meaning and symbolism, but the blessing can be said over any foods that you are planning to serve the next day for Easter. Bring a small sampling of your menu in a basket to receive the blessing.
