There is another photo story of the unique Polish Catholic festival. It is the Peregrination of the copy of the Miraculous Picture of Our Lady of Jasna Góra. The copy travels through Poland and visits parishes, each one every 30-40 years. That is why it is an important festival for local parishioners, especially in the countryside.The tradition of the peregrination is still young, it started in 1957 when Poland was ruled by communists. They didn`t like the idea and often “arrested” the copy but in vain because priests kept on travelling with the empty frames, making even a greater impression on believers. Eventually communists gave up and let the picture peregrinate freely. Those were incredible times…
