Pristine Beauty: Exploring Liturgical Ornaments from Poland
Ornaments are painted by hand using specially developed paints that are both safe for use on glass and able to stand up to the wear and tear of everyday life. Since the various paints are slow to dry, workers apply them in a hopscotch pattern, leaving alternating areas unpainted until the previous area has dried. Decorations like glitter and balloons, a glitter-like material that resembles fine sugar crystals, are then applied to the ornaments. The final touch is a metal cap or catch, which is affixed by the machine to the remaining stub of the ornament. Tags and special packaging are then added for shipping.
The egg symbolizes new life and the resurrection of Christ. It’s therefore no surprise that Poland has a unique series of egg-related traditions, including coloring eggs for Easter, blessing them as part of the Easter basket in church, and sharing them with loved ones while wishing them all the best for the year ahead. Eggs are also served boiled, fried or even decorated with mayonnaise – as in the decorative deviled egg made from hard-boiled eggs halved and filled with a mix of mashed yolks, mayo, mustard and horseradish cream.
