Folk mystery plays

Among the most beautiful mystery plays in Poland are Palm Sunday processions, the most famous of which are held in Lyse in the Kurpie region and Tokarnia in the Podkarpacie region. The palms people bring to church are up to a dozen metres tall, and all are extremely colorful. Colorful processions are also held in June on Corpus Christi. The most well-known take place in Zlakow Koscielny, near Lowicz, and in Spicymierz, near Lodz.

The most popular Orthodox ceremony is the Feast of the Jordan in January, including a procession and blessing of the water. It is held in Drohiczyn on the Bug River.
