Standing in front of the most important Christmas tree in the city, we learn about how decorating it in Poland is a cherished tradition that typically takes place on Christmas Eve. Families gather to decorate the tree with ornaments, lights, and often handmade decorations. The decorated tree is usually placed in a prominent spot in the home and is a central part of the Christmas celebration. After the midnight Mass, families often exchange gifts beneath the tree, and the decorated tree remains a symbol of festive joy throughout the holiday season.
