Polish, Catholic | ''I am a Pole – that word acquires a deeper meaning. I am one not only because I speak Polish, or because others speaking this language are spiritually closer to me and more understandable. I’m a Pole also because beside the sphere of private, individual life I likewise know the collective life of my nation. I am a Pole because as a part of the nation, besides my own personal business and interests, I also espouse national causes, the interests of Poland as a whole. Those are supreme values for which one must sacrifice all that one is not permitted to sacrifice for personal matters. I am a Pole – that means that I belong to the Polish nation throughout all of its territory and all of its existence in the past, the present, and the future. … I am a Pole – thus with all the breadth of my spirit I live the life of Poland, her feelings and thoughts, her needs, desires and aspirations. … I am a Pole – therefore I have Polish duties: and these all the greater, and my dedication to them is all the stronger, the more decent kind of human I represent". — Roman Dmowski

Slavs and Vikings Festival in Wolin, Poland
The Slavs and Vikings Festival is one of the largest early-medieval events in the world. There are archery and spear-throwing competitions, games and contests for kids, craft-making presentations demonstrating how jewelry, coins, horns, and amber were created, live music, readings, and much more.
Wolin is a town located on Poland’s largest island (of the same name) on the coast of the Baltic Sea. It's a City of History, whose glory days date back to 1000 years ago. In the early Middle Ages, it was one of the largest and most powerful cities in this part of Europe, and ranked among the most important ports of the Baltic Sea. Wolin is considered to have been the gateway through which Scandinavians traveled southwards from the Baltic Sea to inland Piast state.
