JSON · Add to calendar

1. Thu, 01 Jan 2026New Year's Day

   The Polish calendar entry lists Nowy Rok on 1 January 2026 and classifies it as public. The supplied background explains that New Year’s Day is the first day of the Gregorian calendar year. That establishes the date’s broad calendar meaning, but the material does not document any specifically Polish customs or explain the legal basis for the entry. This record is therefore useful for identifying the listed observance, while its nationwide statutory scope is not independently verified here.

2. Tue, 06 Jan 2026Epiphany

   The Polish calendar lists Święto Trzech Króli, named Epiphany in the supplied record, on 6 January 2026 and marks it public. The accompanying context excerpt is only a list of possible meanings of “Epiphany”; it does not explain this observance or confirm its legal status in Poland. Accordingly, the date and calendar classification are the reliable details available here. The excerpt does not support claims about Polish religious practice, customs, or the holiday’s statutory scope.

3. Sun, 05 Apr 2026Easter Sunday

   The supplied Polish calendar lists Wielkanoc (Easter Sunday) on 5 April 2026 and marks it public. The accompanying context, however, describes the Fifth Sunday of Easter rather than Easter Sunday itself, so it does not provide reliable background for this entry. The calendar supports the listed date, name, and classification; further details about the religious observance, Polish customs, or legal scope are not established by the supplied excerpts. This entry is therefore intentionally limited to what the record supports.

4. Mon, 06 Apr 2026Easter Monday

   The Polish calendar lists Drugi Dzień Wielkanocy (Easter Monday) on 6 April 2026 and classifies it as public. The supplied context describes Easter Monday as the second day of Eastertide; in Western Christianity, it is the second day of the Octave of Easter. The excerpt also notes that it is a public holiday in more than 50 predominantly Christian countries. These details give the day’s general Christian context, while the Polish calendar supplies the country-specific listing. The excerpts do not independently establish the legal scope of the Polish entry.

5. Fri, 01 May 2026Labour Day

   Święto Pracy (Labour Day) is listed in the supplied Polish calendar for 1 May 2026 and classified as public. The background connects Labour Day in most countries with International Workers’ Day, observed on 1 May, and describes the date as associated with the labour movement and workers’ achievements. It also notes that Labour Day falls on a different date in the United States and Canada. These are general points from the supplied context; it does not detail Poland’s own commemorations or independently establish the legal scope of the Polish listing.

6. Sun, 03 May 2026Constitution Day

   The supplied Polish calendar lists Święto Narodowe Trzeciego Maja (Constitution Day) on 3 May 2026 and marks it public. The accompanying context explains generally that a constitution day honours a country’s constitution and may be held on an anniversary connected with its adoption, promulgation, or signing. It does not provide the Polish holiday’s historical background or describe how the date is observed in Poland. The calendar supports the listed date and classification, but the excerpts do not independently verify the legal scope of the listing.

7. Sun, 24 May 2026Pentecost

   Zielone Świątki (Pentecost) appears in the supplied Polish calendar on 24 May 2026 and is classified as public. The accompanying context describes Pentecost as a Christian feast held on the 49th day after Easter, or the 50th day when counting Easter inclusively. It commemorates the Holy Spirit’s descent upon Jesus’ followers, as described in Acts, and is therefore a moveable feast tied to Easter’s date. These details explain the observance generally; the excerpts do not establish Polish-specific customs or the legal scope of the calendar entry.

8. Thu, 04 Jun 2026Corpus Christi

   The Polish calendar lists Boże Ciało (Corpus Christi) on 4 June 2026 and marks it public. The context excerpt supplied for this entry only says that “Corpus Christi” may refer to different things; it does not explain the religious feast or confirm its Polish status. The date, Polish name, and calendar classification are therefore the details supported by this record. No Polish-specific account of the observance or independent confirmation of its legal scope is available in the supplied material, so this entry avoids making further claims.

9. Sat, 15 Aug 2026Assumption Day

   The supplied Polish calendar lists Wniebowzięcie Najświętszej Maryi Panny (Assumption Day) on 15 August 2026 and classifies it as public. The context describes the Catholic belief that Mary was taken body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life and says the observance is celebrated on 15 August. It also notes that the related Eastern Christian observance is called the Dormition. These details provide the feast’s religious background, but the excerpts do not document its legal scope or specifically Polish customs.

10. Sun, 01 Nov 2026All Saints' Day

    Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints’ Day) is listed in the Polish calendar for 1 November 2026 and classified as public. The supplied context describes it as a Christian holy day in honour of all the saints of the Church, and notes that 1 November is the date used in Western Christian practice. It also explains that the day precedes All Souls’ Day, which commemorates the faithful departed. This is general Christian background rather than a description of Polish customs. The excerpts do not independently establish the legal scope of the Polish calendar listing.

11. Wed, 11 Nov 2026Independence Day

    Narodowe Święto Niepodległości (National Independence Day) is listed in the Polish calendar on 11 November 2026 and classified as public. The supplied context identifies it as a Polish national day commemorating the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty in 1918, after the country had ceased to exist as a sovereign, unified state for 123 years. It also describes the date as a non-working day and a flag-flying day in Poland. This provides country-specific context for the listing.

12. Thu, 24 Dec 2026Christmas Eve

    Wigilia Bożego Narodzenia (Christmas Eve) appears in the supplied Polish calendar on 24 December 2026 and is classified as public. The context describes Christmas Eve generally as the evening or entire day before Christmas, a Christian festival commemorating the birth of Jesus. It notes that the date is recognized as a full or partial holiday in various places and that Christmas observances in some Western Christian traditions begin on Christmas Eve. The excerpt does not document Polish-specific customs or independently establish the legal scope of this calendar entry.

13. Fri, 25 Dec 2026Christmas Day

    Boże Narodzenie (Christmas Day) is listed in the supplied Polish calendar for 25 December 2026 and marked public. The context describes Christmas as an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on 25 December. It also notes that Christmas Day is a public holiday in many countries and that the celebration has religious and cultural significance. These are general details from the supplied excerpt; it does not describe specifically Polish practices or independently establish the legal scope of the Polish listing.

14. Sat, 26 Dec 20262nd Day of Christmas

    The supplied Polish calendar lists Drugi Dzień Bożego Narodzenia (2nd Day of Christmas) on 26 December 2026 and classifies it as public. No context excerpt accompanies this entry, so the evidence provided supports the listed date, name, and classification but not further explanation of the observance. In particular, the supplied material does not describe Polish customs, the religious significance of the day, or the legal basis and scope of its public-holiday status. This entry keeps those points open rather than adding unverified detail.
