Poland
You can find Poland often mentioned when you read history books. Poland was one of the few countries which had royal elections to elect kings to the Polish throne. It was also the pioneer of modern constitutional monarchy and federalism. Poland suffered from the pain and hardship of several foreign invasion and partitions as well as cities damaged in World War II. It revived, with perseverance, from the national tragedies and led Eastern Europe to democracy. Poland is now one of the most beautiful Eastern European countries.
In this country full of history, you can feel a touch of the medieval period and Teutonic Order, a society of knights, in the ancient Polish cities. The vivid colours of the Italian Renaissance style and fineness of Central European architecture blend in the small ancient cities well and become the unique feature of the cities.
After years of wars, Warsaw was revitalised from ruin and became the cultural capital of Eastern Europe. Under the shadow of the Cold War, Poland developed boundless creativity in its art and architecture. Polish poster art is globally renowned for its use of colours, originality and hidden reflection of society. The art has become a role model of Polish art. The modern architecture co-exists with the classic in harmony which attracts “hipsters” to visit and have a deeper understanding of Polish history.
Polish films are also one of a kind. Not only is the creativity of the films beyond comparison, but the films also reflect the current political situation. Polish posters and films are works that you can appreciate art and ponder the motif behind. Posters and films demonstrate the artistic sense and critical thinking of Polish nationals. Former President of Poland Lech Kaczyński starred in a film in his childhood. Pope John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope in modern times, was known for his concern for the society and effort in democratising Eastern Europe and ending the Cold War. In Poland, you will find richer facets of its nationals and immerse yourself in its rich history and art and culture.

光明节 | 10月28日
光明节是犹太人的一个庆祝光明的节日。每年十二月的圣诞节是普天同庆的日子，但犹太人到今日仍对主耶稣抱持拒绝的态度，与二千年前无异所以圣诞节对犹太人而言并无意义，他们也不感兴趣。犹太人虽然不庆祝圣诞节，但在每年与圣诞节相若的日子，郤有另一个节期，那就是圣经中的修殿节。
