The volume "I Read in Polish. Polish Christmas Carols" is not only a collection of texts, but above all a key to understanding the Polish soul. Carols, sung in Polish homes for centuries, are an integral part of the Christmas season. In difficult moments in history, carols played the role of patriotic songs, symbolizing Polishness and the unity of the nation. Thanks to this publication, you can travel back in time and feel the spirit of past holidays, while discovering the beauty of the Polish language.

This publication is divided into two parts: material and exercises, covering three sections: religious carols, songs about the Nativity (God is born) and poetic carols. Among the religious carols, you will find the most famous and beloved ones, which have been resounding in Polish churches and homes for generations. The song "God is born", considered the queen of Polish carols, is a true treasure of Polish culture, combining national and social elements.

Poetic carols, created by Polish poets in times of wars and threats, are a unique testimony to history and culture. Poems stylized as carols, often questioning traditional conventions, show the moment of birth in the context of the current reality. Thanks to this, carols become not only religious songs, but also an expression of patriotism and longing for freedom.
