Happy Śmigus-Dyngus from the PMA!
On Monday, April 6, we celebrate Śmigus-Dyngus – one of the most playful Polish Easter traditions!
Good Friday
Good Friday (April 3) is a day of reflection and quiet pause in the Christian tradition, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in his ultimate sacrifice. It is a time for reflection on themes such as forgiveness, compassion, and the triumph of hope over suffering.
Ash Wednesday
On February 18, we observe Środa Popielcowa (Ash Wednesday), a day that begins the season of Lent in the Catholic tradition. For many in the Polish community, it is a time of reflection, humility, and spiritual preparation leading up to Easter.
