Harvest Festival 2017 – Bread Blessing Photos

Many Festival visitors come to Polish Harvest Festival to experience beautiful ceremony of bread blessing and sharing.

“The end of the harvest was the occasion for a major festival in old rural Poland known as dożynki. It was celebrated with ritual and pageantry, followed up by plenty of good food, drink, music, dancing, and general merriment. This tradition is practiced to this day in many quarters of our American Polonia..”
