The light was brought to the presidential palace in Warsaw on Tuesday by a group of Polish scouts who earlier received it from their Slovak counterparts.
During a ceremony, President Andrzej Duda said that the annual tradition "is a symbol of warmth, safety and shelter—all those things that people need so much."
In a tradition started by Austrian scouts in 1986, the flame is lit at the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem every year.
Polish scouts have been part of the tradition since 1991.
