Lenka 5 | 3534 3 May 2013 / #2Or does this mean national holiday?ExactlyIs it correct to use this phrase for labour day?To some extend since it's a national holiday but labour day is "Święto Pracy"
Oskar - | 2 4 May 2013 / #3Official name of 1 May in Poland is Święto Państwowe (National Holiday without any further description) because some people thought Labour Day sounded too communist, yet wanted to keep the holiday so decided on a neutral name. In colloquial speach it is still called Święto Pracy ( Labour Day) or just Pierwszy Maja (The First of May).
