A Christmas Szopka
In November, the Polish Heritage Society (PHS) enjoyed a fascinating presentation about the Christmas tradition of “szopka,” hand-made nativity scenes within a colorful castle. The presenter, Marek Czarnecki, annually guides the children in Hartford-area Catholic schools who build these structures using everyday household items such as paper towel rolls, boxes, foil, plastic bottles, and wrapping paper. The szopka reinforces the concept that Christ is born every day, not just on December 25. Adults and children enter these creations into an annual competition held at the Polish National Home in Hartford. This year the event will be on Sunday, December 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 60 Charter Oak Ave.
