Today marks the 1,060th anniversary of Poland as a Christian nation. April 14th is the National Day of the Baptism of Poland.
In 966, Poland became a Christian Kingdom when the pagan ruler Mieszko I was baptized following his marriage to the Christian princess Dobrawa of Bohemia.
This is considered the symbolic birth of the Polish state.
Having converted to Christianity, Mieszko I firmly integrated Poland into Western European civilization, securing its sovereignty and providing a foundation for its religious and cultural identity that endures to this day.
