The Year of St Joseph
Church
of the
Good Shepherd
Swieconka
Swieconka: a traditional polish practice of blessing the Easter Breakfast Basket. This took place at the Good Shepherd Church
by Canon Philipp Ziomek. Each member of the family has a bite of all the blessed foods after Holy Mass on Easter Sunday. This
begins the feasting on salamis, eggs, salads and cakes. The contents of the Easter baskets are symbolic of Our Lord's passion
and Resurrection, His generosity and favour.
