Description

Do you know why December 24th is the most important day of the year on the Polish calendar? Or why many Poles celebrate their nameday rather than their birthday? Why are newlyweds always welcomed with bread and salt? If you want to embrace your Polish heritage, this how-to guide will serve as a mini-encyclopedia of Polish traditions. You'll find the history of numerous holidays and customs together with step-by-step instructions on how to incorporate them into your everyday life. Celebrating Your Polish Heritage is divided into three sections: Calendar of Polish Festivities; Polish rites of Passage; and Background, Ideas, and Resources. Religious and secular celebrations and milestones are given historical context and their modern-day practice. You'll find poems, song lyrics, blessings, greetings, baby names, etiquette and numerous lists of resources. This guide makes a wonderful gift for younger Polish Americans seeking to reconnect with their family's heritage, or as a reference for your Polish-interest library. Robert Strybel was born in Hamtramck, Michigan, Detroit's once predominantly Polish suburb. He received a master's degree in Polish studies from the University of Wisconsin, and taught Polish language and history courses before moving to Warsaw, Poland. He spent more than three decades there as a correspondent for the Polish-American press, and for 33 years worked for Reuters News agency. Over the last 40 years, he has answered thousands of letters and e-mails about every imaginable Polish-interest topic and still regularly writes an "Ask our Man in Warsaw" column for the Am-Pol Eagle. With his Polish-born wife, Maria, he co-authored Polish Heritage Cookery and Polish Holiday Cookery, both published by Hippocrene Books.
