Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to attempt to reflect on the baptism of Poland in the context of the Passover events in Israel as reinterpreted by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 10,1-13. The study is divided in two parts. The first part refers to the historical circumstances and consequences of the decision of Mieszko I of Poland to accept Christianity. The second part, based of the analysis of a fragment of the letter of the Apostle of the Nations (reference 1 Corinthians 10,1-13), presents the experience of the Christian community of Corinth, with refers to the experience of the chosen people of the Exodus period. The example from the history of Biblical Israel does not refer solely to the Christians of Corinth. The teaching of Paul has universal character.
