Pucheroki

Pucheroki (puchery, pueri, from Latin. Puer means boy) is a custom celebrated on Palm Sunday in Krakow and its surroundings.
This custom derives from the ancient kwest Cracow students. Prohibition walking "on pueri" was released in 1780 and then took his boys from the village near Krakow . Early in the morning on Palm Sunday, dressed boys go from house to house. Dressed in fur reversed sheepskin on top, they wear on their heads high, conical caps with colored tissue paper, Smole faces with soot. In the belt are tied powrósłami. In one hand they have a basket of chaff in the second - wooden hammer with a long handle, a braided tissue paper.
Singing, wishing Easter Resurrection, deliver orations, which combine elements of old songs Lent, Christmas carols kantyczkowych, comic dialogues and nursery rhymes. At the same time they celebrate the chamber around, tapping the floor pucherskimi sticks (shaped hammers or Siekierki) and recite ec.
They receive for food, especially eggs and small donations, which are collected in the basket.
This custom, though fading, is still alive in some villages near Krakow, including in Bibice, Zielonki and Trojanowice and Tomaszowice .
