National Independence Day in Poland - 11th November

On the 11th November, we celebrate in Poland our National Day. 

After 123 years of  partitions of Poland made by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Habsburg Empire, Poland appeared again on the map of Europe as an independent country.

This day is a national holiday so we all celebrate by decorating our flats and houses with national flags, by taking part in public meetings or special masses in churches.
Starting form 2008 in Warsaw there is a special celebration taking place - "March of Independence".
