Geocache Description:


Pronounced "vee-gee-lee-a," Wigilia translates to "The Vigil" and is the typical meal served on Christmas Eve in Poland. The meal takes days to prepare, and the family sits down on Christmas Eve to a table with a thin layer of hay underneath the tablecloth to commemorate the manger in which Jesus was born. The meal starts with the Oplatek traditional wafer. The meatless meal then includes mushroom soup, boiled potatoes, pickled herring, fried fish, pierogies, beans and sauerkraut, babka, pastries and other candies.
