Public Holidays in Poland
There are a number of Poland public holidays. All Saints’ Day is one of the Poland public holidays which is celebrated on the 1st of November as a commemoration day for all the Christian saints. It may also be called as All Hallows' Day, Solemnity of All the Saints, Hallowmas, or Feast of Saints. The origin of All Saints' Day may be back to a Greek Christian tradition from the 4th century when a festival was celebrated to honor saints and martyrs on the day off Sunday following Pentecost. The first recorded All Saints’ Day happened on 13 May 609 CE when Pope Boniface IV decided to accept the Pantheon in Rome as a gift from Emperor Phocas and thus this day became one of the most important Poland public holidays.

The Pope dedicated the day as one of the Poland public holidays in order to honor the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs too. another one of the Poland public holidays is the Polish Independence Day which commemorates the re-establishment of Poland at the end of World War I in the year 1918. For 123 years before 1918, Poland had been partitioned under the mighty rule of Prussia, Austria, and Russia. On 11 November 1918, the day when World War I ended, this partition was also ended, and Poland was given its independence which again got to be the one of the significant Poland public holidays. In 1945, when Poland became a communist regime after the Yalta conference, at the request of Stalin after World War II, the holiday was ended. In the year 1989, following the collapse of the Communist government fell, Independence Day was reinstated as one of the Poland public holidays. 25 December is a public holiday in most of the countries around the world. If 25 December is falling on a weekend, then a nearby weekday may be taken as a holiday in its place.
