Opening the traditional Easter gathering, the regiment’s commander, Col. Krzysztof Malankiewicz, PhD, Krzysztof Malankiewicz offered the soldiers and visiting guests his wishes:
On this festive day, please accept our wishes of joy and peace—not only during the holidays spent with family and loved ones, but also in your daily service and work. Let us especially remember our soldiers who are carrying out tasks supporting the Border Guard on the country’s eastern border and will spend the holidays far from their families and loved ones.
The parish priest of the military parish in Świętoszów, Rev. Lt. Col. Maciej Śliwa, spoke about the most important events in the liturgical year, such as the celebration of the Passion, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. After reciting a prayer, he offered Easter wishes to everyone present and their families: – May this Easter be for all of us a great symbol of the renewal of faith and life.
23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment in Bolesławiec: – After the prayer, the soldiers and invited guests shared the egg—a symbol of the oldest Christian holidays and of renewed life—and then sampled traditional Easter dishes.
