Unusual exhibition of Christmas cribs at the Łódź Post Office
December 8 this year. At the headquarters of the Łódź 4 Post Office at al. Kościuszki 5/7 there was a ceremonial opening of the exhibition of Christmas cribs created by 30 popular Polish folk artists. This unique exhibition was created in cooperation with Maciej Balcerak - a private art collector and is one of the activities of Poczta Polska, related to cultivating Christmas traditions.
The exhibition consisting of several dozen exceptional cribs is a collection of works of the most talented contemporary artists of Polish folk art, including Tadeusz Kacalak, Roman Śledzia or Eugeniusz Zegadło. Christmas sculptures on religious themes usually depict the holy family: Mary, Józef and the Child, who is accompanied by angels, the Three Kings and shepherds who came to bow to the Savior. The Bethlehem star floats above the cribs, around them - animals brought by shepherds. Each of the nursery has its own unique style characteristic of the author. This is a unique attraction not only for lovers of sculpture, handicrafts and folklore.
On the occasion of the exhibition, Poczta Polska issued and put into circulation a related postcard with a dedicated stamp. This unique publishing house is available in a philatelic store at UP Łódź 4 and presents images of three Christmas cribs, whose authors are: Eugeniusz Zegadło, Roman Śledź and Tadeusz Kacalak. The author of the card project is Poczta Polska employee - Damian Graś. The stamp shows, among others Image of the crib by Tadeusz Kacalak.
- Christmas is a special time, also in Poczta Polska. On the one hand, it is a period of hard work related to the service of a larger volume of parcels than usual - with gifts or purchases. Still many of us also decide to send wishes in a traditional, paper style. It is a beautiful tradition that definitely deserves cultivation and gives you incomparably greater joy of the recipient than the electronic message. But postalists also find time to get involved in various charity initiatives, whose beneficiaries are people in a difficult life situation. Helping is one of the Christmas traditions that are extremely close to us - says Andrzej Bodziony, vice president of Poczta Polska.
Poczta Polska also ensures that customers can buy products in the company's facilities that will help create an unforgettable aura of Christmas. Among them, Christmas cards and passes are particularly popular (up to 70 designs). Poczta Polska's offer also includes Christmas decorations, gadgets related to Christmas, gift and gift sets, Christmas books, decorative articles for children and accessories for packaging gifts. In the company's branches, customers will also find products for children, haberdashery, sweets and even hay on the Christmas Eve table. In post offices and branches, as well as via the website https://przeny.poczta-polska.pl/ , you can order personalized products from Saint. Mikołaj - a traditional letter and video with one or several children's heroes.
For many years, Poczta Polska has been involved in charity. The company once again organizes a collection of gifts in post offices. Products that customers will throw into special containers will go to the players of the corporate Foundation of the Company "Pocztowy Dar". This year, support will also go to Ukrainian mothers with children who have escaped from war -torn to the country and to the charges of the Special School Poczta Polska in Skawina.
