Travel Love Poland Magazine – March 2021
Dear Readers, And so the spring has come again. Disliked by some as in Poland it tends to be often cool till May while adored by the others. However, before we move on to more spring topics, we invite you to read the conversation with probably the most famous Slav and Slavic warrior in Poland, i.e. with Igor Górewicz. It is a fascinating journey into the past, and since Igor's knowledge is immense, his stories will be extremely interesting, not only for history lovers. As usual, the whole is illustrated by already well-known Marek Kalisiński. From more spring themes, this time we recommend trips to Roztocze and cycling adventures in southern Poland. We especially want to draw your attention to the photographs by Marcin Gądek in the article "Churches from heaven". As Marcin is also a priest, his stories and photographs have an additional, slightly deeper dimension. Also, get to know the city that we haven't presented yet – that is Opole. Perhaps slightly off the beaten track of the most frequent hikes, it will be an interesting proposition for music lovers. Opole is called the capital of Polish song. There will be, as usual at this time of the year, Easter accents, both culinary (with a recipe for Sękacz) and visual – we are presenting once again the photographs by Kamila Rosińska - as well as her two new stories for children.

- EASTER STORIES BY KAMILA ROSIŃSKA -

"THE BRAVE BUNNY"
Easter was coming. Like every year, the old wicker basket
was getting ready to be decorated. Green blueberries
neatly bent their twigs, entwining its wicker handle.
The colourful Easter eggs were looking forward to being placed
comfortably, side by side, on a beautifully embroidered tray
cloth. Horseradish was cleaning its fair coat, while salt and
pepper were practicing flips by rolling in the salt shaker. The
stiff heel of bread wondered whether to sit on the right or left
of the sugar lamb this year. The chick was skating on a piece of
smoked bacon, squeaking so joyfully that the willow catkins grew
angry with envy.
“Are you all ready?”, the big iced Easter pound cake asked.
“Yes, we are,” the painted Easter egg replied.
“And where is the sugar lamb?” the horseradish asked.
“I'm here,” the lamb moaned softly.
“Lamb, it's time for us, soon our hostess will come to take us to
the food blessing. Don't dawdle, come down immediately!” the
shortcrust tart Mazurek said.
“I can't jump down! It is so high and my old hooves refuse to
obey,” the lamb answered sadly.
The poor fellow was standing on the dresser right next to the
table, his tiny sugar hooves weren't as fit as they used to be and
there were a few missing icing decorations on them, which
certainly made it difficult for him to jump.
“We have to help him, he can't do it without us! Who is
volunteering?!” the Horseradish said firmly.
“We, we, we are!” the inhabitants of the Easter basket shouted
eagerly.
“Make room!”the chocolate bunny instructed everyone, grabbing
the two longest willow twigs in its front paws.
“Lamb, stand back, I'll get to you right away,” the bunny
announced, preparing to jump.
The eggs reddened with sensation, the chick with horseradish
clutched its hands tightly, and the salt and pepper hid at the
bottom of the salt shaker, terrified.
Suddenly, everyone could hear,“Hopscotch!”
“This is it! He did it!” the Easter eggs squealed, overjoyed.
The proud bunny hugged the scared sugar lamb and promised to join
his friends in a moment. Then, the bunny made a slide from willow
branches that led straight to an old wicker basket.
He grabbed the frightened lamb by the sides and a moment later
they both found themselves in an old wicker basket, landing softly on
the heel of the bread.
“What an adventure!” the sugar lamb said, flushed, “Thank you, guys!
You are true friends.”
On that day, the lamb realized that the greatest happiness is to have
true friends because a real friend will help you, even if you do not ask
for it.
