Polish tradition

Eastern European heritage

Polish tradition encompasses the customs, practices, and cultural heritage of Poland and its diaspora.

These include Catholic religious observances like Wigilia (Christmas Eve supper), folk arts such as paper cutting and embroidery, and celebrations featuring polka music and traditional foods: pierogi are central to Polish tradition.

The phrase often appears in discussions of identity preservation among Polish-American communities.
