St. Andrew’s Day Eve (Andrzejki) November 29

Calling all the Single Ladies! You might want to learn about St. Andrew’s Day Eve. Here is your opportunity to see into the future and experience some magic. While trying to determine when you might marry and what the future groom will look like was traditionally done in private as a tradition dating back to 1557, apparently it is now a time of fun parties. Lighting 13 candles allows the spirits to enter the room that will help tell the marital future. One game involves pouring hot wax into cold water through the hole in a skeleton key. After it solidifies, the shape and its shadow will foretell your future. The shoe game is also another interesting sounding game. One shoe of each woman is lined up at the door. The first one to get to the door is the first to be married. (Be careful to not get trampled!) It sounds like in the present, it is just a fun chance to party and celebrate.
