May 1st Celebration
Please join the Polish Community as we celebrate this important occasion on May 1, 2022 at 11:00 am at the Kosciuszko Monument in the North East Corner in Williams Park, St. Petersburg. The park’s address is 350 2nd Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701. The end of the 18th century produced three constitutions considered the first three modern constitutions in the World. The first was The American Constitution of September 17, 1787. The second, and the first, in Europe was the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791 followed by the French September Constitution on September 3, 1791. The history of Poland begins as early as the 10th century, when the Polish nation accepted Christianity in 966. Poland has had a long and rich history. Over the past thousand years the country has defended its freedom and sovereignty from foreign aggressions on numerous occasions. Due to country’s geo-political location between the East and the West, Polish history is marked with wars and uprisings. There was a time when Poland was the largest country in Europe but there was also a stage when it was totally erased from the world map for over a hundred years. Thanks to the resilience and pride of the people who value freedom above all, Poland has not only managed to overcome troubles but also has been offering its own contribution to the world's history and culture.For further information, please contact us at aiptampabay@gmail.com
