3 May Constitution Day (also 3rd May National Holiday; Polish: Święto Konstytucji 3 Maja) is a Polish national and public holiday that takes place on 3 May. The holiday celebrates the declaration of the Constitution of 3 May 1791 – the first modern constitution in Europe.
3 May was declared a Polish holiday (Constitution Day—Święto Konstytucji 3 Maja) on 5 May 1791. [133] The holiday was banned during the partitions of Poland but reinstated in April 1919 under the Second Polish Republic —the first holiday officially introduced in the newly independent country.
The holiday carried over to present day Poland as State Holiday, albeit without any formal connection to International Workers' Day. In addition, 3 May was reinstated as 3 May Constitution Day. The May holidays (1, 2 and 3 May) are called "majówka" in Polish (roughly translated as May-day picnic [3]).
