""Polish Holiday Customs"" explores the vibrant traditions that shape Poland's national identity. It delves into how history, religion, and social life intertwine, creating unique celebrations. From tracing the roots of Christmas (BoÅ¼e Narodzenie) and Easter (Wielkanoc) to examining All Saints' Day (Wszystkich ÅwiÄtych) and May Day (ÅwiÄto Pracy), the book reveals how pre-Christian Slavic beliefs melded with Catholic traditions. These customs reinforce community bonds and transmit cultural values, highlighting the resilience of Polish culture through centuries of change.

The book uniquely presents a cultural studies perspective, examining how Polish holiday customs have evolved over time. By drawing on ethnographic research, historical documents, and folklore, it illuminates the lived experiences of those who participate in these traditions. Beginning with fundamental concepts, the book progresses through specific holidays, analyzing their historical roots and symbolic meanings, culminating in a discussion of Polish identity in the modern world.
