Hello all, and thank you for your previous invaluable help.

I'm looking fo information on the celebration of The Assumption/Lady of the Herbs, Aug 15th, in Poland.
I'm mainly wondering about peoples memories/present traditions on how their particular town celebrated/celebrates. I am mainly looking at celebrations in the first part of last century 1900-1950, if there have been any changes, though I assume many still follow the same pattern

I was wondering if there was actually much 'revellery' (parties) after the Mass and blessing of the flowers, herbs etc. If there is, what food is served etc? Is there dancing?
And as much information as you have please! I want to be able to build a rich picture of this celebration.

Thank you all!

Thank you Kowalski.

Does anybody have any sories of their own celebrations? Any community festivities, dances etc. after the Mass

I realise there is also the harvest celebrations on the 8th september, I am mainly referring to the Assumption day, though it seems some elements have been incorprorated into the 15th?

Thanks!
