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.
“An interesting fact is that on May 2, the Day of the Polish Diaspora and Poles Abroad is also celebrated. It was established under the Act of March 20, 2002 in recognition of the centuries-old achievements and contribution of the Polish community and Poles abroad in regaining independence by Poland, loyalty and commitment to Polishness, and helping the country in the most difficult moments.
