Easter in Western Pomerania is a fascinating mosaic of traditions brought from various parts of Poland after World War II. Although the region lacks a unified cultural heritage, it is this very diversity that gives the holidays their unique character.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, when residents bless willow branches, often tied with a red ribbon symbolizing protection for the home and its inhabitants—though traditional palms are also quite common. On Holy Saturday, food is traditionally blessed, and the shells of the blessed eggs are scattered around the farm in the belief that they will bring abundant crops.
The Easter breakfast is a time when families gather at a table covered with a white tablecloth to enjoy food from the Easter basket. Although gift-giving wasn't common in the region, the tradition of the "Easter Bunny hunt"—small presents hidden in the house or garden—is becoming increasingly popular.
Ustronie Morskie, a picturesque seaside town on the Baltic Sea, is becoming an increasingly popular destination for the holidays. Walks along the seashore, beach picnics, or sandcastle building are just some of the attractions awaiting visitors. Easter events such as cooking competitions and folk performances are organized by local institutions, highlighting the regional character of the holidays.
For those who wish to combine tradition with comfort, Alka Sun Resort in Ustronie Morskie offers special holiday packages. It’s the perfect place to feel the spirit of Easter while enjoying the charms of seaside relaxation.
