Christmas Traditional Meal (Poznań)
22 December, 2025
The traditional evening meal in the days leading up to Christmas, known as Wigilia, was celebrated at the Poznań SDC centre by members, candidates, and other young people on Sunday, 21st December 2025. It was the result of a concerted effort in preparing the various dishes, including borszcz soup, pierogi with cabbage and mushrooms, fish, salad, pasta with poppy seeds, and dried fruit compote.
The event began with a moment of prayer, including the lighting of candles and Christmas lights, a reading of the Nativity from St Luke’s Gospel, the singing of carols, and the prayers of the faithful. A particularly meaningful moment followed, when each person present took an opłatek (a thin wafer) and shared it with everyone else one by one, exchanging personal wishes with one another.
Finally, the meal was shared in an atmosphere of friendship and brotherhood. We thank the Lord for another occasion that brought us closer to one another in his presence.
