Happy
Birthday
Poland
and Savior by his wife
Dobrava of Czechia or
was it a political
decision?
Tidings of
comfort and
joy from
Polonia
Chistiana
Christianisation was a
long and arduous
process and most of
Poles remained pagan.
Christianity in Poland
took many years to
finish. It wasn’t easy
for peasants to adopt
the new religion.
Svetovid was among
the
most
worshi
ped
gods in
Poland.
People
prefer
to ask a
fortune
teller or
a rowan tree for
advice instead of
follow the Bible. A
commonly known song
says: “Tell me red
rowan, whom should I
give my heart? Red
rowan, give me an
advice”.

On 14th April 1066
Poland celebrated it’s
100th birthday marked
by the Baptism of the
Duke Mieszko the First
and his team. That day
Poland joined the rank
of established
European states
recognized by papacy
and the Holy Roman
Empire. Mieszko the
First, ruler of the Polish
state took the decision
to accept the
Christianity.
Was it a conscious
choice or forced
adoption? Was
Mieszko the First
influenced to recognize
Jesus Christ as his Lord
Will Poland exist in
one thousand year
time? Recently, I
visited a diviner.The
person told me that in
950 years from now a
pope from Rome will
arrive to Poland to
celebrate a thousand
and fiftieth anniversary
of the Baptism of
Poland for the 15th
World Youth Day, an
international meeting
of young Christians
which will take place
in Cracovia. Poland,
the diviner added,
Poland won’t be a
kingdom anymore!
What will it be?!I hope
Poland will exist as
long as we are alive
and true to our identity.
By the way, visiting
diviners is definitely
waste of silver ore and
time. In God we trust!
God rest us merry
Poles, let nothing us
dismay
