24.01.2022 Happy Poland Independence Day! We would like you to celebrate with us and we are giving away a free glass of wine for each guest with late lunch or dinner! Book your table now, walk ins welcome National Independence Day (Polish: Narodowe wito Niepodlegoci) is a national day in Poland celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland's sovereignty as the Second Polish Republicin 1918, after 123 years of partition by the Russian Emp...ire, the Kingdom of Prussiaand the Habsburg Empire. It is a non-working day in Poland. The restoration of Poland's independence was gradual. The 11 November date chosen is the one on which Józef Pisudski assumed control of Poland. The holiday was constituted in 1937 and was celebrated only twice before World War II. After the war, the communist authorities of the People's Republic removed Independence Day from the calendar, though reclamation of independence continued to be celebrated informally on 11 November. The holiday was officially replaced by the National Day of Poland's Revival as Poland's National Day, celebrated on the 22 July anniversary of the communist PKWN Manifesto under Josef Stalin. As Poland emerged from Soviet-influenced communism in 1989, the original holidayon its original 11 November datewas restored. The date corresponds to the date of other countries' Remembrance Day, Armistice Day, or Veterans Day. All of these holidays and Polish Independence Day are indirectly related because they all emerged from the circumstances at the end of World War I. In other countries, holidays were established in the spirit of grief and horror at the enormous human cost of the war, and they mark the sacrifices of those who fought. For Poland, however, the tragedy of the war was tempered by what had been accomplished at its end: the restoration of a sovereign Polish state that had been lost entirely in the partitions of Poland, after 123 years of struggle. The Polish holiday is therefore simultaneously a celebration of the reemergence of a Polish state and a commemoration of those who fought for it. photos by NAC Narowowe Archiwum Cyfrowe FB https://www.facebook.com/narodowe.archiwum.cyfrowe/posts/10154243372999032 Photos via Kancelaria Prezesa Rady Ministrow, mojaszuflada.blog.pl, warszawa.naszemiasto.pl, air.photo.lublinu, agencja gazeta and unknown Photo: ukasz Sowinski, https://m.facebook.com/zsercaorawy/

20.01.2022 We were pretty busy hence why this weeks Fun Fact Tuesday is happening on Wednesday :) Todays spotlight- Zalipie Every Part of This Tiny Polish Village Is Covered in Lovely Floral Paintings A small village in southeast Poland is heralded for its unusual tradition. Every house, well, church, and barn is covered in lovely, decorative painted flowers. The secluded town of Zalipie, just 90 minutes from Krakow, feels a world away, as the small farming village bursts with color. ...Just how did the tradition start? Its not entirely clear, but one story relates that it began due to poor ventilation for stoves. As they would leak soot onto the ceiling, women began to paint flowers over the marks in order to tidy upand brighten uptheir homes. And even as ventilation improved, villagersmainly womencontinued to carry out the folk art, moving from ceilings to walls to bridges and everything in between. The tradition has continued to endure, and each spring following Corpus Cristi, villagers host the Painted Cottage competition, or Malowana Chata. Theres nothing like a little neighborly competition to get the creative juices flowing, with the contest taking place annually since 1948. The starting date of the Malowana Chata has special significance, as it began right after WWII ended. Poland was devastated during the war17% of the population diedand this was an attempt by officials to cover up some of the damage done to Zalipie. Now, Zalipie attracts visitors who come to soak in the colorful atmosphere. Theres even a museum, which was the three-bedroom cottage of a resident named Felicja Curyowa. When Curylowa passed in 1974, her ornate home was transformed into a space where visitors can appreciate her work. From spoons to lightbulbs, every square inch blooms with color. By J.

09.01.2022 Fun Fact Thursday: Shepherding in the Tatra and other Polish mountains by Robert Szczachor https://fotokreator.myportfolio.com/ Grazing season, traditionally runs from April 23 (St. Wojciech day) to September 29 (St. Michael the Archangel day) Pastoral customs, traditions, techniques and equipment came to the Polish mountains from the south. They were strongly influenced by Vlachs - nomadic people coming from the Balkan area,who in the early Middle Ages began centuries long ...pilgrimage to the north. Nomads assimilatedwith the inhabitants of the Carpathian range and taught them new skills. Pastoral way of lifecame upon a breeding ground - difficult natural conditions (harsh climate and poor soil) favoured more animal husbandry than cereal farming. Shepherding started to develop in the Tatra and other Polish mountains. History of individualpastoral areas and its influence oncontemporary sheep grazing caused diversification of shepherding in different regions of Poland. Idyllic view with sheep in themountain pastures is not as common as it was in the past. Nevertheless we can still meetshepherds or even visit their huts while hikingon the mountain trails in Tatry, Gorce, Beskids or Pieniny. In the Tatra Mountains, where shepherding had been completely liquidated due to the nature conservation in the 70s, it was decided to restore grazing. Decisive influence had cultural issues- perennial relationship between the highlanders and the Tatras and richness of traditions and customs as its effect. In 1981, shepherding returned in a form of so-called Cultural grazing of sheep and cattle in the Tatra Mountains. What does it mean? Under agreements with the Tatra National Park highlanders can graze sheep on some of the clearings. They must, however, obeyseveral rules including speaking in a dialect, wearing the original highlander outfit, whether be assisted by traditional herding dogs the Polish Tatra sheepdogs. The are many more requirements, but thanks to them we can learn more about old customs and try productsprepared according to original recipes.
