Barborka is a traditional miners' holiday celebrated on Saint Barbara's Day on December 4. She is the patron saint of a good death and hard work. On this day in the Katowice district of Nikiszowiec, miners traditionally walk with lanterns, and the miners' orchestra wakes up residents in the morning by walking through the streets of the city. After the march, a ceremonial mass takes place. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto)
