In a message to members of “the Orthodox Church, the Greek Catholic Church and other Eastern Churches in Poland,” the Polish presidential couple said on Wednesday: "On the Eve of the Nativity of Christ, please accept our heartfelt wishes for health, peace and a sense of warmth shared with your loved ones."
They referred to "the spiritual refreshment" that they said "comes with cultivating beautiful, centuries-old Christmas traditions.”
The Polish first couple also wished Orthodox Christians "happiness, success and prosperity" in the new year.
Meanwhile, Poland’s Roman Catholics on Wednesday celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany 12 days after Christmas.
About 93 percent of Poles declare themselves to be Catholics, according to statistics released by church officials in 2018.
The Polish president last month sent greetings to members of his country’s Jewish community as it celebrated the holiday of Hanukkah.
