Before Easter we asked the Poles about their attitude towards various Lenten and Easter religious customs. The most often kept recommendation is fasting on Good Friday (83%). Seven out of ten respondents (70%) keep the custom of Easter confession and similar number (64%) participate in the rite of sprinkling head with ashes on Ash Wednesday. About half of the Poles, according to their declarations, take part in Lenten retreats and church celebrations of the Easter Triduum.

More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: ”Lent and Easter Customs”
