Ambassador Edgardo Manuel launched this 3 month tourism project yesterday, building -up towards our 114th Independence day celebration. This will also coincide with the Euro Cup 2012 this July in Warsaw. We featured the Palawan photo of George Tapan , winner of the National Geographics photo contest . Major sponsors are Honorary Consul Edward Magiera and the Baltic Container Terminal , a subsidiary of ICTSI.

The Euro trophy is making a two-day visit to Warsaw, which means you can get up close (and get a picture with) the trophy from 10:00 - 20:00 Friday (20 April) and Saturday (21 April) at Pl. Defilad. There will also be a parade tomorrow with the trophy and Euro mascots starting at 12.45 that will go along Aleje Jerozolimskie, Nowy Świat, Krakowskie Przedmieście, Królewska, Marszałkowska and back to Pl. Defilad. If you're not sure where to go, head for the big balloon. http://www.uefa.com/uefa/mediaservices/mediareleases/newsid=1775261.html

Palm Sunday (01/04/2012) marks the official beginning of Poland’s Easter festivities – perhaps the country’s most sacred holiday. Leading up to the season you may see decorative handmade palms for sale around town. These traditional decorations are made from a variety of dried flowers and plants and are crafted in villages all over Poland. Palms are taken to church on Palm Sunday to be blessed before they will decorate homes until the end of the season. As a deeply Catholic country, Poland takes its Easter celebrations seriously; throughout the period, the visiting foreigner can expect bars and restaurants to be either empty or closed beginning on Good Friday (06/04/2012) . A traditional day of abstinence, dutifully observing Catholics visit church to attend stations of the cross – a series of prayers following Jesus Christ’s route to his crucifixion.
