It notes Poland’s feast customs, blessing of foods at churches, and the traditional Easter dinner with a central lamb, comparing to other nations' holiday meals. It recalls prewar prosperity and abstemious fasting preceding the feast.
The practice of lifting on Easter Monday and Tuesday remains in country districts. Two strong men clasp wrists to form a saddle and lift one man after another into the air three times. It is said to symbolize the joy of Christians in the resurrection.
