THE WHITE EAGLE - 700 YEARS OF THE COAT OF ARMS OF THE POLISH STATE


The Crowned White Eagle has been the Coat of Arms of the Polish State for seven centuries now. It is one of the oldest State Coats of Arms in the world. There are very few other countries who have managed to maintain their coats of arms for such a long period of time.
The coat of arms of Poland consists of a white eagle on a red shield. The eagle is wearing a crown and has golden claws and beak. In Poland, the coat of arms is usually called simply White Eagle (Orzeł Biały).
what we see as white is normally said to be "silver" (and "yellow" is "gold"). However, the Polish eagle is the only one which is "pure" white instead of silver..

National anthem


SONG AND MUSIC

The National Anthem of the Republic of Poland, also called "Jeszcze Polska nie zginela" ("Poland has not yet perished", from the first line of the lyrics) or "Piesn Legionów Polskich we Wloszech" ( "Song of the Polish Legions in Italy"), was written in July 1797 in Reggio near Bolonia by Jozef Wybicki, one of the organisers of general Jan Henryk Dabrowski's Polish Army in Italy.
