The Holy Icon of Our
Blessed Mother of Jasna Góra
The most famous Polish sanctuary of
Our Lady. The monastery was established in 14th century. In the year 2004 it
attracted 3.5 millions of pilgrims. Jasna Góra's most valuable treasure is the
miraculous painting of Our Lady. Because of this painting, Jasna Góra became
Poland's most famous sanctuary among the numerous sites to Marian devotion
throughout the country. But it is not just the tradition, which considers Luke
the Evangelist as the artist, or the influence of monarchs to whom Jasna Góra
has always been dear that made this place famous above all others. It is the
Miraculous presence of the image which has always attracted pilgrims not only
from all over Poland but from all over the world, as the numerous votive
offerings show.
