 Jasna Gora steeple by gosiaPL
You might as well take a look at it from much closer...
I like this tower a lot, although I generally tend to prefer mediaeval architecture. But this one is just sweet and serene... and yet it shoots off boldly right up to the sky. Leave a Comment

 Straight is the road to the
chapel :-) by gosiaPL
I call this gangway "international" because this is where you hear all kinds of foreign languages from people who just got off their buses :-) Leave a Comment

 The sacristy by gosiaPL
I remember when I first saw it... I literally froze as I did not expect this "function" chamber to be such beauty... One of the monks laughed when he saw my face! :-)

 One of Jasna Gora's gangways by gosiaPL
Jasna Gora is quite unique in that it combines the attributes of a sanctuary with the general features of a fortress. The two roles have blended perfectly! I personally like this combination...
Discovering some new features each time I go there! Leave a Comment

 Black Madonna in Diamond
Robe by gosiaPL
The painting has eight different robes made of precious fabrics with golden embroidery and jewel stones (some of the stones go back to 15th c.). To see the robes click here, scroll down and enlarge the photos. The robes are absolutely lovely!
The robes are displayed in the 600th Anniversary Museum at Jasna Gora.
Looking at the Miraculous Painting from the distance of maybe 3-4 meters right in the Chapel behind the metal gate... That was a once in a lifetime experience, and certainly not because of having a chance to examine the precious robe! Leave a Comment

 Pilgrims at Czestochowa during
Communism by marishabandb
Many visitors ask me how religion was during Communist Poland. For a glimpse of this, please visit my DURING COMMUNISM travelogue, where you will see photographs from 1969 and 1983 taken by the secret service of the Polish People's Republic, with captions from the former files of the Ministry of the Interior.

 Architectural detail by gosiaPL
I always appreciate it when a simple function is "dressed up" in a nice idea.
Mind you, we could do with such approach to things in Warsaw... Leave a Comment
