Wigilia is the traditional Christmas Eve vigil supper in Poland, held on December 24. Wigilia comes from the Latin word vigilare, "to watch", and literally means 'eve'. The feasting traditionally begins once the first star has been sighted (usually by children) in the heavens at dusk (around 5 p.m.). Therefore Christmas is also sometimes called "Gwiazdka" (the little star, referring to the Star of Bethlehem).
