Flag Day 2021 - celebrations in the country and abroad ... May 2 - this is how we celebrate an important holiday for all Poles - Flag Day. It is a relatively new holiday for us ... It was established by the Sejm under the Act of February 20, 2004. Its purpose is to express respect to the flag, Polish tradition and to promote knowledge related to our national identity. Special patriotic demonstrations take place all over the country - in which representatives of the authorities of individual cities, representatives of important institutions and the army, and citizens take part. The flag is raised to the sounds of the Polish national anthem. Our national colors are also exposed. Interestingly, the Day of the Polish Diaspora and Poles Abroad also falls on the same day!

Flag Day - we celebrate in Poland and abroad!

Special ceremonies are held in many Polish cities. Of course, due to the coronavirus pandemic, they are somewhat intimate. We were present, among others, in Gdynia, where Henryka Krzywonos - a Polish opposition activist in the PRL period, signatory of the August agreements, member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland of the XNUMXth and XNUMXth term participated in the celebrations.

“Ciekawostką jest to, że 2 maja obchodzony jest także Dzień Polonii i Polaków za granicą. Został on ustanowiony na mocy ustawy z 20 marca 2002 roku w dowód uznania wielowiekowego dorobku i wkładu Polonii i Polaków za granicą w odzyskanie przez Polskę niepodległości, wierność i przywiązanie do polskości oraz pomoc Krajowi w najtrudniejszych momentach.” (źródło: Onet.pl news).

The colors of the Polish flag - what do they mean?

Flag day. What do its colors mean?

“Flagą Polski w obecnym kształcie, według ustawy z dnia 31 stycznia 1980 r. o godle, barwach i hymnie Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej oraz o pieczęciach państwowych, jest prostokątny płat tkaniny o barwach Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i proporcji 5:8, umieszczony na maszcie. Zgodnie z art. 6 ust. 2 ustawy, za flagę Polski uważany jest także wariant z godłem Polski, umieszczonym pośrodku białego pasa.”

The color white in heraldry represents silver. It also means water, purity, and immaculate. Red color - means fire and blood. It is also a symbol of bravery and courage.
