Rekawka is a folk picnic-taking place on Tuesday after Easter on Krzemionki in Podgórze. Even as late as in 19th century gathered here the citizens of Cracow and from the hill they trew down the rests of the blessed food to the poor waiting at the feet of the hill. That practice has its roots in pre-Christian epoch and it's connected with the tomb of Krak, legendary grounder of Cracow. The tradition says that the people loved their ruler so much, that after his death they heaped up a huge mound for him, carrying the earth in sleeves (Polish - rękawy). And it is said that from that event comes the unusual name - Rekawka. We can't say anything about legendary Krak; archaeological research confirmed only that the mound was the place of cult, connected with a spring ceremony of Dziady. That pagan feast of ancestors' souls consisted in doing the dead some services. The shrubs were planted as places of shelter for souls imagined in form of birds. The fencing fights were carried out to honour their memory and with weapon frighten away some bad spirits that could threaten the good souls. The fires were burnt on the graves of the dead and they were presented with food. Maybe an interesting custom of throwing the eggs, nuts and apples down the hill has something to do with offerings put down on the graves of the ancestors.
