Epiphany Description
Epiphany (Święto Trzech Króli) closes the Polish Christmas season with chalk blessings above doorways, children's pageants carrying a bright star through snowy lanes, and parish concerts blending carols with local dialect. Reinstated as a nationwide day off, it turns city centres into slow promenades between nativity scenes while the Tatra foothills welcome winter hikers on quiet roads. Retail hours vary—large malls often trade, but public institutions remain shut, so confirm opening times before travel.
