The Assumption of Mary, known in Poland as Wniebowzięcie Najświętszej Maryi Panny, is a prominent Catholic feast day celebrated annually on August 15th. It commemorates the belief that the Virgin Mary was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory at the end of her earthly life.
The tradition of venerating Mary has deep roots in Polish history, with strong ties to the country's religious and cultural identity. The feast day itself has been celebrated since the Middle Ages and continues to be an important religious holiday in Poland.
On this public holiday, apart from religious observances, many Poles enjoy family gatherings or use the day for relaxation. The Assumption coincides with summer holidays; thus it's common for people to spend time outdoors or leave for vacation around this period.
