Yesterday, one of my best and forever known friends got married in the orthodox church - (Polish language only). It was a pretty ceremony, full of new customs for me and most people gathered there. During it I discovered how little do I know about different religions in Poland. We live in mostly catholic country, as it's believed and non-stop said in public media (the news are similar to the catholic news). I bet most of young Poles do not know some crucial matters about the religion that is said to be main and which is stronly implemented to schools at the moment. Our fatal minister of education (mister G.) is trying to push the right about obligatory mark of religion on the certificates. His party is trying to make all the people go to churches, pay money and be devoted. He's a big friend of mister Rydzyk - the priest, in whose pockets there are most ruling politicians. Those politicians, i.e. the president, the prime minister, the ruling party, are at the moment paying the price for his support during elections. They are trying to introduce Poland as a religious country like Iran, for example. Some kind of paranoid, indeed.
Never mind, my friend has just got married. They are happy, young, beautiful, passionate and ... orthodox. I suppose I will get know about the religion more these days. To defend some rights we should have the knowledge.
Happy married Basia & Zając - wish you all the best!!!
