The Polish Tradition of Andrzejki

Post Reply New Topic

I'm always joking it's such a poor man's version of your Halloween Yes, Halloween is celebrated in Poland too but it wasn't back when I was a child. But I did melt wax through the keyhole back in my late childhood, trying to guess what my wax shape presented

Andrzejki (also known as Saint Andrew's Day) is the day celebrated on November 30th, though the festivities usually begin in the evening on November 29th. The most well known ritual from Andrzejki is the melting of wax through a key hole.
