did you know.........

The Hejnal mariacki (Reveille of St. Mary's) has been played every day in Poland for close to 800 years. The legend is that the first playing was by a bugler whose timely warning allowed the townspeople to defend effectively against one of Genghis Khan's raids. The last note is stopped short in honor of the bugler, who took a Mongol arrow to the throat. Two raids are candidates for the original event, in 1241 and 1259. cn
