weirdpolis:The Feast of Corpus ChristiIn Poland there’s a tradition of decorating windows (and in rural area also fences) on the route of the procession. It’s kind of sign: “here lives a Christian Catholic”. For that people use religious symbols, mainly depictions of Sacred Host and Holy Wine, but in some places, like in Świętochłowice-Lipiny or Katowice-Nikiszowiec, displays are more elaborate. People will use everything they have: paintings, pictures, statues, lots of flowers.The tradition is still strong, although every year the number of decorated windows decreases.
