S1 E16 St Andrew's Day in Poland as told by Julia Schirnick


Listen Later

St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland but on this week’s episode we welcome Julia to Culturally Speaking to tell us all about how St Andrew’s Day or Andrzejki is celebrated in Poland. The festivities are centred around matrimonial fortune telling by unmarried women and marks the beginning of advent in the run up to Christmas. Tune in to hear how the traditions include dreaming up what characteristics your future husband will have by casting hot wax shadows, moving shoes to determine who will get married first and perhaps the oddest of all – throwing apple peels over your left shoulder! Stay Cultured, J & N xoxo. Please take a moment to subscribe, review and comment. We’d love to hear from you @culturallyspeakingpodcast.
