Easter in Poland, a public holiday,[1] is one of that country's major holidays, often compared in importance to Christmas.[2]: 30 [3]: 111 [4]: 309 [5][6] Associated with it are many specific customs and traditions.[1][7]

Easter has been celebrated in Poland since the country's Christianization in the Middle Ages.[1] During the period of Poland's partitions, it was also an important patriotic observance, reminding Poles of their culture.[6]

Easter is also important to Polish-Americans and other Polish diasporans.[2]: 30 [8]: 42 [9]

According to a 2012 survey, about 90% of Poles observe some Easter customs, and over 50% participate in Christian Easter observances.[10]
