In the run up to Christmas, Polish

households can be found making an

array of colourful decorations to hang

on their Christmas Tree or on a

branch of a tree that is traditionally

hung. Decorations include these amazing straw angels.

Mary's visit by Angel Gabriel is

significant in Poland during Advent,

which is why straw angels are made

during this time.

In class today we had a go at making our own straw angels.
