Polish Traditional Dress

    The  Corpus  Christi  procession  in  June  is  a   very important  part of  the  liturgy year in  Polish culture.
The members of  the Polish ethnic parish  in   South Boston, Massachusetts, Our Lady   of   Czestochowa
organized  a  celebration  in  2002  with  the  folk dance  group  Krakowiak (www.krakowiak.org) This event
created an excellent  opportunity  for  getting  more  familiar with  traditional  Polish  dresses.
    Poland has  many  different  regions with  their own culture, music, dialects  and   also  colorful  dresses.
This is a trace of ancient tribal life, from more than a thousand years ago, now incorporated in the Christian
culture of Poland.
   You will  be able  to recognize on presented pictures dresses from the Krakow Region and Podhale, from
Mazowsze   and  Wielkopolska, from  Kaszuby and  Kurpie,  from  Rzeszow  and  the Lublin  Regions, and
others. Also, you will see traditional noble people's dresses from about  XV to XVII  century.
