Christmas Customs

The Breaking of Oplatek

One of the most beautiful and most revered polish customs is the “breaking of oplatek.” The use of the Christmas wafer (oplatek) is practiced by people in Poland and from Poland on Christmas Eve. The “oplatek” is a thin wafer, made of flour and water. It is white and often embossed with Christmas related religious images, varying from the nativity scene especially Virgin Mary with baby Jesus, to the Star of Bethlehem. On Christmas Eve the whole family gathers and waits impatiently for the appearance of the first star. With its first gleam, they all approach a table covered with hay and snow-white table cloth, share it with one another and exchange best wishes.

EXTRAORDINARY NATIVITY DISPLAY!!!

In 1989, Monsignor Edward Bucia commissioned a highly original animated Christmas display which illustrates parts of Polish history. It is one of only four such wooden displays in the world, the other three being in Poland. Large enough to fill half a room, it consists of a procession of historical figures which are connected to a moving track. Kings, musicians, mountaineers, and shepherds glide by  the Christ in His manger, and each traveler salutes Him in a different manner: by raising a sword, tipping a hat, blowing a whistle, or beating a drum. Please stop by the Nativity Room, located on the main floor of the school building. Go to the last room on the left to see this beautiful Christmas display.
