Hunting season is about to begin....
Hubertus is a festival of hunters, held at the beginning of the autumn-winter season. In Poland, the cult of St. Hubert dates back to the 18th century. During the Second Republic of Poland, Hubertus hunts were held in Spala, and were initiated by President Ignacy Moscicki. To this day, in the Polish hunting tradition, so-called "hubertowins" are organized on November 3, i.e. collective hunts of a particularly solemn character, with the preservation of historical patterns and ceremonies.

The sanctity of the cemetery and the symbolism of the cross
On All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, remembering the dead and praying for their souls, we crowds visit cemeteries. These places in Polish tradition and culture have a multi-faceted symbolism. In the first place, they signify religious content - for they are sacred spaces. Historically, the sacredness of a cemetery was directly related to the burial place of a saint, around which the rest of the faithful were buried.
