KOLĘDNICY

During Advent, star carriers (KOLĘDNICY), begin wandering through the towns and villages and this would continue until Epiphany. They sing carols, others recite verses or put on Szopi or puppet show, or herody or nativity scenes. The last two customs are developments from traditional manger scenes or Jaselka or crib. Star carriers are called carol singers. They sing carols. "put on Szopi" - you rather meant "perform Szopke". It is scene when Chist is born, and three kings come to the manger. By "Herody" I mean Herod's performance. The story, about evil king Herod, who was forseen to loose his power from a child, so he ordered to kill all the children. Jaselka=Szopka. It is the same performance.
