About
The famous Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora in the city of Czestochowa is the main Catholic centre in Poland and a destination of annual pilgrimages.
The famous Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora is the main Catholic centre in Poland. Every August, thousands of people join walking pilgrimages to Czestochowa to pray in front of the famous Black Madonna painting. The monastery is also home to votive objects connected to Saint John Paul II, e.g. a part of the cassock stained with blood with a hole after the assassination attempt in 1981. Many people claim Jasna Gora is a miraculous place, where people with terminal diseases or severe handicaps can be cured. The monastery is beautifully located on a hill, from where you can see a stunning panorama of the whole city. Because of the importance of the sanctuary for the Polish people, Saint John Paul II visited it many times. In 1991, Jasna Gora was the venue for the World Youth Day.
