The Polish Parliament has rejected a draft bill purporting to restore the Christian public holiday of Epiphany (January 6).
This Christian holiday, also called Three Kings in Poland, was a public holiday until the 1960's when the communist party cancelled it as part of its crack-down on the Catholic church.
The bill went in front of parliament last month (22-Sep-2008), following a petition which had garnered over half a million signatures (27-Jun-2008).
