Christmas wafers have been part of the Polish tradition since the 10th century - symbolizing the unity of the family. Hay is placed under a white tablecloth to symbolize the nativity scene where Jesus was born on hay. By tradition the Christmas Eve dinner begins once the first star is visible in the sky - signifying the star of Bethlehem. Family members begin sharing their wafers, wishing each other blessings for the coming year. Twelve meatless dishes are served (typically including mushroom soup, red borscht with uszka, pierogi, herring and more) for the 12 apostles. All the mentioned products are available on our website.
