Saint Andrew's Day means Andrzejki in Polish. We celebrate it on the 30thof November.
In history, it was the day
when young girls, who were waiting for their dream, future husband did a lot of
divination to find out how their husbands would look like.
For example they were praying all day and belived that they would see
the future husband in their dream.
Today it is not so serious
and people are having fun and going to parties. We „tell fortune” in many
different ways.
For example we pick things with symbolic meaning, such as:
–
wedding ring –
quick wedding,
- rosary – becoming a
priest or nun. 
We also pour wax through a key hole into a bowl of water. Later we check the shadow it casts on the wall. It tells us our future.
