👉 Something typically Polish ===================> A snapshot from a village in Western Pomerania / Poland - something typically Polish. A cross at the crossroads, such as there are many in our country - a symbol of Poles' devotion to faith and tradition, but also the sacrifice we have made fighting for our freedom throughout history. And the stork's nest, synonymous with the safety, peace and good living conditions. The young bird is just preparing for its first flights. Although the eagle is Poland's emblem, the stork also deserves to be called the national bird: every fourth individual from the world's white stork population returns to Poland as its birthplace. The stork-traveller also perfectly reflects the character of the Polish soul - the eternal wanderer, once a convict, an exile. Polish emigration - for historical reasons - is among the most numerous in the world next to Chinese, Italian, Russian and Mexican. According to various estimates, there are between 12 and 20 million Poles and people with Polish roots living outside Poland. #Poland
