It's Easter but not a very typical one. Instead of mass religious events, everyone is staying at home. The cause is, of course, the Chinese virus. However, Christians in Poland still celebrate it. Christianity is a strong element of Polish culture, literature and tradition. That's why it's good to know some religious vocabulary. So let's do it!
