Here is how Cieszyn, Poland - according to legend - received its name. In 810, three brothers, after traveling separately for decades, reunited at a spring in an unnamed territory. Out of great joy over their reunion, they established a town and named it Cieszyn, from the Polish phrase “cieszym sie” or “I’m happy.” Today I’m happy to begin telling stories of my year of service and accompaniment teaching English at a Lutheran junior high school and high school in Cieszyn. Today with great joy, and great happiness, I establish this blog.
