Stanisław August Poniatowski and The 3 of May Constitution
The question of authorship of the 3 May constitution remained unclear for a very long time; due to the strong air of secrecy around the nascent document, then (after the session of the Great Sejm had finished) due to a deliberate cover-up of this issue in source texts. In the most salient of these, the extensive treatise O ustanowieniu i upadku konstytucji polskiej 3 maja 1791 [On the Enactment and Downfall of the Polish Constitution of 3 May 1791 (1793)], the problem of authorship had been presented in a deliberately ambiguous manner.

Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris: Polish Traces
Thanks to Polish kings, the Cathedral of Our Lady has had strong links with Polish history since as early as the 16th century. In the 1840s, émigrés who left Poland after the November Uprising were flocking to it. In the 1980s, holy masses were celebrated there for the Solidarity movement. A monument of Saint John Paul II was unveiled near the cathedral in 2014 and in 2018 a copy of the Jasna Góra image of the Holy Virgin was placed inside Notre-Dame.

Homo religiosus: the phenomenon of Poland's Mieszko I
Over ten and a half centuries ago, the ruler of a vast territory in today’s western Poland was baptized in the Latin rite and began the Christianization of his people. That ruler, who hailed from the Piast dynasty, was Mieszko I, called “rex” (king) by his contemporary, the Saxon chronicler Widukind of Corvey – and “malik” (king) by the agent of the Caliph in Cordoba, Ibrahim ibn Yaqub, who visited Central Europe during the early years of Mieszko’s reign (~960-992). Today, ironically enough, Mieszko’s descendants label him but a “książe” (duke) – though they honor him, nonetheless. Indeed, as of this year, AD 2019, Poland has a new national holiday – namely, “Poland’s baptism”, to be celebrated on April 14th from here forward.
