All Saints’ Day & All Souls’ Day | Wszystkich Świętych i Zaduszki

On November 1 and 2, the Polish Museum of America joins Polish communities worldwide in observing All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. These days are dedicated to remembrance, reflection, and honoring those who have passed away. In Poland, families visit cemeteries to light candles and lay flowers, a tradition that connects generations and is integral to Polish culture. The event also commemorates the contributions of Polish immigrants who shaped the Polish-American community. The Polish Museum of America's mission is to preserve these stories for future generations.
