Saint Andrew's Day - Andrzejki

Tej pracy nie znajdziecie nigdzie indziej, ponieważ dodałem ją tylko do serwisu sciaga.pl !! (chyba że ktoś inny to zrobi) ;-)

Andrzejki or Saint Andrew's Eve is a traditional festival celebrated in Poland on the night of 30th November since 13th century. Saint Andrew is a patron of Scotland but the festival is not celebrated on his name-day. In the past only girls and young unmarried woman foretold their future to see their potential husbands. Nowadays both boys and girls enjoy that day.
The organization of the event doesn't require months of preparation. People usually bring necessary items with them. To foretell the future they need small everyday objects like kays, shoes, apples or candle. The purpose (celem) of the fortune telling is to find out something about future partners.
Probably the most famous fortune of this festival is pouring the wax. First, one must melt the wax and pour it through a keyhole into cold water. Than everybody looks at the shape of the wax and predict one's future. This future may refer (dotyczyć) to money, traveling, health or love.
Saint Andrew's Eve is a fantastic opportunity (sposobem) to meet your old friends and get to know new people. Although people don't take fortunes seriously, they have a great time, so I thoroughly recommend this festival.
