Święconka, meaning "The Blessing Of The Easter Baskets," is a Polish tradition that dates back to the 7th century and is still practiced today.

Baskets holding symbolic food items, such as painted eggs, bread, meat, and cake, are blessed at church on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. They are then shared and eaten during Easter Sunday brunch.

This free event will provide you with all the necessary ingredients to make your own a traditional Święconka- so why not join us to make a traditional Easter Basket to take away for Easter.

Short basket blessing services will be held at 13:15, 14:15, and 15:15.
