I cannot think of only one holiday story that I would like to share, so I opted to tell about our holiday tradition. The sacred white wafers, much like those used for Holy Communion, are shared with each person present. During the exchange, good wishes are expressed, such as health, happiness and wealth. This is the most emotional time of the holiday for the Polish family. Those who are no longer alive are particularly remembered at this moment. The tradition has carried on and my children are able to share one of the holiday traditions I grew up with.
