For the third consecutive year, the annual Kolędy Concert, arranged by Jim Turek, will be held at Sacred Heart Church on Wednesday, December 4 at 10:15 a.m. Jim and several other professional musicians will perform a set of traditional Christmas carols that always prompt people to sing along. Each year, Jim adds a different historical dimension to these concerts, providing valuable insights into our cultural heritage. Last year, the concert fell on December 6, which Jim explained is celebrated in Poland as The Feast of St. Nicholas. On this day, Sw. Mikolaj, also known as Father Christmas or, in America, Santa Claus, would visit the homes of people in the village, dressed in his bishop’s robes. He gave them a gift for being good and to remind them of the gifts given to the Christ Child by the Three Kings. This year, Jim will talk about the origin of the Polish National Anthem, further enriching our understanding of our cultural roots. This concert is free and open to the public.
