I''m a new subscriber. 2nd generation Polish-American. Love the channel and the cooking demos-- and love the history here about the church in Szechin. Making pierogi for Wigilia even though family is staying apart this year. I'm the youngest of 7 and most of the men in family are the cooks. I tried passing torch to nieces, but they are not interested. I try keeping up the traditions of Polish food on Christmas Eve including mushroom soup, sauerkraut soup, smelts, herring, poppyseed cake. NO meat. If my late mother saw meat at table she would flip out. Usually every year I make at least 80-100 pierogi with friends helping out so making small batch this year. It's sad this year with COVID, but we will see each other with virtual and next year will be better. God Bless.
I had the chance to see it in person last year while visiting family. It’s absolutely breathtaking. We were able to go up in the tower too and see the view of Szczecin. Thank you for bringing my memories back to life.
Lovely stain- window with Matka Boska Ostrobramska definitely from people with roots in Wilno? Kresowiacy. In London in Catholic Westminster Cathedral nr Victoria Station, Polish pilots from Wilno gifted the church with the same Madonna image on the wall & a prayer for their safety in the battles in II World War.
What a wonderful place to live. Thanks for the tour of the church. God bless y’all! Keep up the great videos. It is a little chilly here in Nacogdoches Tx. 36 F. This morning
St. James is such a majestic building. A churches interior has always made my heart soar. Since we have not been able to enjoy mass this year; I want to thank you for bringing joy to my heart.
Thank you 🙏 for showing us this beautiful Cathedral, plus the wonderful food you enjoyed. The music that accompanied the video was also chosen very well, thank you Mark. Blessings from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺.🙏💜💕
Thank you for posting this beautiful video of the Cathedral and the delicious pirogi shop. My family is from Torun, Poland. My babcia went back to visit all of the relatives in the 70's for a month. Recently, I traveled to Krakow, the mountains, and to Torun and Czestochowa. Beautiful! I will return again for sure. It's so good to connect with your family and your relatives with whom you have never met. I enjoy your cooking shows and have made some of your recipes. Thank you! Very nice!
I have been enjoying your channel - thank you for all of the amazing cooking and cultural learning. You have brought Poland to my bucket list. The two of you do an excellent job of making everyone feel at home.
This is one of my very favorite videos that you have done. When I was a boy we used to go with my godmother and walk around the city. When she was tired we would go into different Catholic churches. Rest for a bit and say our prayers in Thanksgiving for all the blessings that God had given to us. If you ever make it back to the United States plan to visit Fall River Massachusetts which has many cathedral like churches ✝️🙏
You guys are awesome! I come from a polish family in the Midwest of America. Specifically Kansas and Oklahoma. I’m younger than you guys but only by a few years. I saw your vid about being at fort sill. Artillery? I did 9 years in the navy on destroyers. I started a farm working hard to produce food for local families.I found your video with table top pickles insightful! I make them here but the addition of the horseradish leaves for crispness cucumbers is true. I had to grow them.
Hey Matthew, thanks for watching! Yes Mark was in the Artillery, he spent a little over 5 years at Ft. Sill. He still speaks of Oklahoma with fondness. Take care.
Thanks for the great video. I love Mark's 'Point' beer hat! I live in NY, but sometimes I see Point Special at the beverage store or maybe even on tap when I go on vacation. Whenever I see it, I get it! Last time I was in WI (10 years ago), visiting my cousins, my family and I toured the Point Brewery. That was fun.
beautiful basilica, being born in the OLDE POLISH SOUTHSIDE of Milwaukee, I am familiar with "the locals building their church, " I was baptized in St Josephat"s Basilica which was hand built by the parish....they got the parts from Chicago when they tore down a Post Office.....I was watching and eating my lunch here at work (canned beef stew and mac and cheese) and was going taste crazy watching the selections at the store....Great video, stay warm !!
Aaahh!! We were in Poland October 2019 and loved it so much! This just made my desire to go back all the more strong. Can't wait until we can travel again!
Thank you..love these videos. My mother was from Krakow. Father born in Vilnius..but family considered themselves Polish. I was brought up in Australia. Miss my mother’s cooking so much, but you have inspired me to cook more Polish food! Am firing up to cook some amazing dishes for Vigilia, which my son loves! What do you normally do on Christmas Day? 😊🌸
Currently, I am the director of a retreat center in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania, where I also pick the honey mushroom and dry them for cooking. Look up St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and retreat center in New Baltimore, PA.
Do you use polish spice packs in your cooking? I buy in polish store in New Britain in CT and it very convenient. Just use as rub for a roasting chicken with fresh ingredients like garlic, ginger, onion.
Beautiful Church. Love old churches. They tell a story and have character, unlike the modern builds. Is there a lot of English writing at places along with Polish? Or only at churches?
Hello Sandi. The text in English is actually for every monument/ historic attraction in Szczecin (also there is one on German) .I think in other polish cities as well. Greetings !
What a beautiful church!! I could feel the Spirit while watching your very nice video. I would find excuses to visit that Pierogi shop on a regular basis! 😊 Looks like a wonderful area to explore further. What is that big white building outside to the right side at about 13:20? Great video and great explanations from Mark! Thank you for sharing once again! 😊😎😊 (Rob Allen in Thailand.)
@@markhurning8051 Thank you Sir for that information! Looks like a very nice hotel. And thank you and your lovely wife for your wonderful videos and her recipes! 😊😎😊👍👍👍
Do you use a hand held camera or is it a drone showing outside footage. Beautiful cathedrral. Tomorrow I pick up 3 doz (cheese) pierogi from my church. St Stanislaus Kostka, Rochester NY. ❤️
It's the largest chruch in Pomerania? Well it depends how you look at the Pomerania :) if you go with the "old" definition of Pomerania than it is. If you go with the modern thinking of Pomernia then St. Mary's basillica in Gdańsk is way bigger as it is the biggest brick church in the world (yes, world - not only Poland or Europe)
buildings might be beautiful and historic but the polish church are too involved in politics and the recent abortion laws are tragic! their views on LGBT are pure lies! and the recent increase in right wing views is becoming scary
Politics are always Like that not only in Poland normal people don't pay attention to what they say and they think what they want ,not what someone told them to think.
