God bless Poland and God bless all the Polish people.

112 years would pass after the Battle of Lepanto, and in 1683, the Polish cavalry would break the siege of Vienna and send the Turks back to the Middle East for 300 years.

The Austrian bakers made a crescent shaped pastry during the siege to mock the Muslim battle symbol.

We know them as croissants(”crescents”).

Croissants - plural in Polish: “Rogale”/ro’ghaleh”/ or “rogaliki” in sweettalk. :)
