... Easter is always a day off for students, but for some in South Bend, it's a holiday. Yes, for Poles, who emigrated to the US from a particular area in Poland and who happened to been concentrated in South Bend and the Midwest, it's Dyngus Day. Dyngus Day is celebrated by the sprinkling of holy water signifying the end of Lent as well as yes... eating. During his recent sojourn to his home in Cleveland, Zach Zywiec partook of Dyngus Day festivities. On his participation, Zywiec, Steds junior and resident Pole, shared, "Before heading back from Easter, I couldn't help but celebrate the festivity of all festivities, the party of all parties, Dyngus Day! As the famous polka goes, 'Everyone is Polish on Dyngus Day.' Here was the Polish platter I enjoyed in Parma, the Polish heart of Cleveland (at least in my opinion)."
Everyone's favorite podcast, In the Red Room, is on Easter hiatus but will return next week.
