A United Nations observance recognizing older people, care, dignity, work, and family life.
A day for naps, prayer, reading, recovery, study, and the human need to step out of noise for a little while.
A day dedicated to planting trees and celebrating the Polish forest, which covers nearly 30% of the country. Schoolchildren plant saplings, and the tradition is to take a walk in the forest and collect mushrooms (grzybobranie), which is one of the most beloved Polish autumn activities. The mushroom-picking tradition runs deep: families have secret spots passed down through generations, and the freshly picked mushrooms are used in bigos, pierogi, and soups.
