Easter Monday is the second day of polish feast after Easter Sunday. In Polish it is called: Lany Poniedziałek or Śmigus-Dyngus. This day is a public holiday.That day in polish tradition boys and young men threw water on young women and girls who they thought were attractive and loved ones.Some years ago, especially in big cities it meant danger of being soak to the skin by teenagers hunting with big basket in the streets on virtually everyone. The polish governments and officials have been fighting with such a tradition for some last years, and trying to put this custom in moderate way: so you can use water but try to not exaggerate with it and not harm any one. All in all it is not a good day for taking a walk and when it rains we say: this is a really Lany Poniedziałek.

Why we celebrate Easter?

What is your favorite way to celebrate Easter? Hunting for Easter eggs? How about eating chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks? Or do you like dressing up in new clothes and having a delicious meal with your family?
All those things are fun, but do you know why we celebrate Easter? At Easter we celebrate the day Jesus rose from the dead. Do you know who Jesus is? He is God's Son. God sent Him to earth to save us from our sins (the bad things we do). The Bible says that every person in the whole world has sinned and deserves to be punished. But God loves us so much that He gave us His Son Jesus to be punished in our place. Jesus had to die on a cross. But three days later, He came to life again! Jesus is even more powerful than death!
If you believe that Jesus died to take away your sins, then rose again to life, you can spend forever in Heaven with God. Just say to God with all your heart,
“Dear God, I am sorry for my sins. Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the cross, then raising Him to life again to take away my sins. I ask You to come into my life and help me live for You. Amen.”
