00:02 Here we have an arrangement of an archaic Christmas Eve,
00:07 a 19th century one.
00:09 Some of the traditions that existed back then have survived to this day,
00:15 and some of them are simply in a different form.
00:20 This is, for example, the amount of dishes.
00:23 Here you can see that there are much fewer dishes,
00:26 because in the past it was primarily the odd number of dishes.
00:31 The poor had three or five dishes,
00:34 and the rich had seven or even eleven dishes.
00:38 The dishes also differed from what we have on the table today.
00:43 There was no carp, this is an invention from the time of the People's Republic of Poland.
00:48 However, for example, barley, barley, cabbage, cabbage with mushrooms,
00:56 or cabbage with peas, the menu also differed depending on the region,
01:03 but also depending on the family,
01:05 because each family also has its own separate traditions,
01:10 favorite dishes that were on this table.
01:14 People, of course, met at the common dinner.
01:18 Sharing a plate was not necessarily, it was not always the case.
01:23 Before that, cabbage was often shared with peas.
01:27 The plate appeared only later,
01:29 and it was, of course, baked in special places or in orders,
01:36 and then distributed by organists or priests.
01:41 This exhibition can be seen after the New Year until February 2.
