Our last day! It hardly seems possible - the time has flown by!
Today, we drove to Czestochowa to the Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora, home of the "Black Madonna"
|
Beautiful religious articles are everywhere |
|
These bells are still active |
|
This shrine is to pilgrims who died in an airplane accident while on the way here |
|
Statues in front relate the Mysteries of the Rosary The Agony in the Garden |
|
The crowning with thorns |
|
The crucifixion |
|
The Resurrection |
|
Descent of the Holy Spirit |
|
The Assumption of Our Lady |
|
The Coronation |
|
Stations of the Cross were in the old castle moat Jesus is condemned to die |
|
"Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times" |
|
Veronica wipes the face of Jesus |
|
Jesus dies on the cross |
|
In the main basilica |
|
Side chapel |
|
The ambo |
|
During the tour, Fr Thomas said "you've got a nice camera, take a picture of that window" |
|
Just outside the treasury |
|
Stations of the cross with scenes from Auschwitz as background |
|
Mass in the Chapel of the Sacred Heart |
|
The chapel of Our Lady of Jasna Gora |
|
Fr Thomas tells us of the unveiling of the image |
|
The veil lifts slowly revealing the image, said to have been made by St Luke in Ephasus |
|
Fr Thomas |
|
Fr Blessed us with Holy Water in the sacristy |
|
In the sacristy |

On the way out, we saw this statue - not sure what it represents |
Warsaw - Church of St Stanislaus
|
St Stanislaus Church - grave of Blessed Fr Jerzy Popieluszko |
On the road between Czestochowa and Warsaw
|
A rest stop with giraffes! |
At the last supper in Warsaw
|
As we bid adieu to Poland and our group of new found friends, we look froward to our next adventure! |
