Rogation Days - Dni Krzyzowe --- St Mark (April 25th) - Sw. Marka
On the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday preceding the feast of the Ascension, as well as on the feast of St. Mark, take place the processions of petition, carrying the faithful from Church to Church, or wayside shrines.  Prayers are offered for good weather and good harvest.  On these days the ceremony called "Dziady" is also conducted.  At the cemetery the priest blesses the graves and prays for the dead.  After this the parishioners feed the beggars who have gathered there.
