Poland in photo riddles - part 3

Guys, stop laughing at the death of a great man whose heart was ripped out for Poles and Polesses to honour it in one of their temples. It is a serious matter.

Probably really dry now.

You'd need to marinade it, perhaps in red wine, then simmer for a few hours.

Jon, I was talking about honouring, not devouring. We aren`t cannibals like some Russians in Ukraine.

Ok, so you have both guessed the painting shows the death of Chopin. They didn`t paint taking out his heart yet.

What about the riddle in 133?

Is it a sień?

It's made of shingles but I've forgotten what they're called in Polish.

Yes, that`s what the riddle is all about. I am asking it coz the name is funny and has curious background.

Gont/Gonty?

Wow, welcome back!
Sorry, no. Sth much funnier. :):)
We are talking about low roofs, not about what covers them. Gont means shingles.

Dach z przypustnicą? I don't think it's right but can't think of anything else.

Ganek

Strzecha

Sorry, no.


Sorry, no. Ganek is a roofing over the front door, while here it spreads along the entire wall of the church.


No, it is just covering on the roof.

Let me repeat - I mean the whole construction of a low roof which is attached to the external wall of the church, practically encompassing the whole of it.

Hint - it originated to protect the believers who had to stay outside the church (eg. waiting for or during the mass service ) from adverse weather conditions.

Thanks


Arcades called Soboty. Named for people who arrived on the Saturday for the Sunday service.

Yes, exactly! Soboty spelled with lower case s means saturdays. :)::):)

What is it about?

Interesting. In England days of the week are always capitalized. Didn't realize they weren't in Poland.

We call them Ganek (porches) in the U.S.

I've never heard it in that sense.

Is this a special occasion as such and the phones are being collected so that everyone can actually talk to each other without distraction? A wedding or Wigilia for example. From the little I can see of clothing, the men are wearing shoes and trousers so it appears to be a formal setting. Either that or maybe teachers confiscating student phones?

Matura?

So are they in Poland. :):) I was talking about soboty aka arcades not Soboty aka Saturdays. hahaha


Ganek is different - it is usually elevated while soboty aren`t.


Yes, collecting phones before the exam. The photo was taken about 5 years ago, funny boxes aren`t used anymore - today students simply mustn`t enter the exam hall with any devices like that.

And that's where you're wrong. We write the days of the week with lowercase letters. However, there are exceptions. Do you know what ones?

Exactly! And those exceptions are more important than the remaining standard usages. Ha!!!! E.g, Sobota spelled with a capital letter is in two weeks` s time!! I can`t wait! :):):):)

What is going on???

Poor potatoes waiting too long for buyers and their tears take the form of sprouts?

Or.... being sold to be planted to grow more ptoatoes....

That is your pay, tusk decided that from now onward spouts are the official currency of Poland.

Maf, you are close. But remember I take photos of my stuff mostly.


hahaha

Potatoes you're going to plant...

Yes, Maf! I already planted them last week and a new much bigger batch is getting ready in the house`a warmth. :):):)

What is taking place???

Blessing of eggs
