Overview

While the practice of Paczki Day is traditionally observed the day before Ash Wednesday in the US, in Poland, Paczki sales are the highest on Tlusty Czwartek or "Fat Thursday" (the Thursday before Ash Wednesday). Fat Thursday is actually a National Holiday in Poland. Fat Thursday in Poland marks the start of the final week of the pre-Lenten celebrations!

Guided Tour of St. Florian Catholic Church. St. Florian Church rises eight stories above ground and recalls the great cathedrals of Europe. The front of the church features a broad Gothic Arch flanked by twin spires notable for the impression that give of lightness and delicateness. The brickwork is also exceptionally impressive along with the stained-glass windows. The altar windows depict five famous Polish saints—Casimir, Florian, Hedwig, Hyacinth and Stanislaus—while the nave windows illustrate the life and teachings of Christ!
