Where to buy a wafer this year? You will find it in many places
The wafer can be bought in many parishes a few weeks before Christmas. In some towns, priests spread it around houses and flats, but this custom is slowly falling into oblivion. Then where to buy a wafer? It is worth going directly to the church or parish office. And if there’s a store in your town, you’ll get one there too. This year, the fee ranges from PLN 10 to PLN 20 per package. It all depends on where we plan to buy it.
If you don’t care about the wafer being blessed, you can buy it in a few other places. Where? You can often find the wafer in supermarkets and at Christmas markets. Sometimes we also buy it in shopping malls, where it is sold by people dressed as angels or snowflakes. Often in this way money is also collected for people in need, so it’s worth doing a good deed at the same time. Currently, you can also order a wafer online with home delivery. They are even available in a gluten-free version. However, you need to buy it well in advance so that it reaches us before Christmas.
Why do we share the wafer? It’s not just a tradition
Sharing the wafer begins every Christmas Eve evening. We do this before we sit down to dinner, making touching wishes. But why has the breaking of the wafer become such an important symbol? It is not only a tradition that we carry on from generation to generation. Museum of Fr. Krzysztof Kluk in Ciechanowiec, the Cultural Institution of the Podlaskie Voivodeship says about it this way:
Since ancient times, people have shared bread as a sign of brotherhood, peace, love and reconciliation. It was believed that wafers have many beneficial properties, bring prosperity, ensure harmony, harmony and family happiness, God’s care.
