Does the Polish community have a calendar that marks dates when certain things happen-such as Spring or Summer, but also of say Presidential Holidays or civil rights leaders holidays? Is the Polish calendar based on 30/31 days and do you have the same months as we do?
I am trying to compare what American holidays there are to what the Polish people celebrate. For example, this coming Monday is a holiday for Martin Luther King, jr. who was a civil rights leader. To me it's just another day with no mail delivery. To others, it may mean more than just another day.

I have forgotten about this one. Thanks for reminding me.

Joyce if you go to the Culture site here on the left hand side you will see Calendar and all the events are posted there. Also you can check our this site www.polamjournal.com/ but I think Jagas forum will have the same events posted. Both great sources for information. Their calendar is like ours 12 months same days as ours per month. Can you name the month in Polish....I can't...LOL Next holiday coming up Pazcki Day Feb 3....doughnut day ;D
