Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Part of Poland’s rich Easter folklore, the Koprzywnica bziuki (fire-spewing) ritual is a local embodiment of Easter joyful proclamation. It combines Catholic liturgy and ancient fire symbolism, likely surviving from pre-Christian fire rites. The custom (rooted in 19th-century accounts ) is held every Easter Vigil and has become a point of local pride and cultural tourism.
