Easter Monday Branches – A Springtime Awakening

Special Series: Sorbian Easter Days · Episode 6 · Audio + PDF

A branch. A greeting. A quiet awakening in spring.

In this sixth episode of the special series Sorbian Easter Days,

a ritual unfolds that is so gentle it could easily be overlooked —

and yet it carries a strength older than many words:

Easter Monday branches, the soft greeting with fresh spring twigs.

A custom that does not strike, but awakens.

That does not punish, but blesses.

That does not divide, but connects.

This bundle includes:
