Jasna Gora Sanctuary in Czestochowa The holiest place of Poland and one of the world’s most important destinations for pilgrims. Every year several million pilgrims–commoners as well as celebrities–come here to pray before the miraculous picture of Our Lady of Czestochowa. The faithful has believed for ages that St. Luke the Evangelist himself painted the divine icon on a tabletop from the Holy Family’s house.
A rumour has it that Pope John Paul II wanted to be buried at the site this artwork resides.
