This is a guidebook to the Jasna Góra Monastery and Sanctuary in Częstochowa, Poland, one of the most important Christian pilgrimage sites in the world. It houses the famous icon of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, believed by many to have miraculous powers. This guide covers the history of the sanctuary, the Basilica, the Chapel of the Virgin (where the icon is displayed), the Bell Tower, the Treasury, the Library, the Knights' Hall, the 600th Anniversary Museum, the Bastion of St. Roch, and other significant sites. It also includes information about pilgrimages to Jasna Góra, the pilgrimages of Pope John Paul II (a native of Poland), and practical information for pilgrims. With full-color photographs and clear maps, this guide is an invaluable companion for visitors to this sacred site and a window into Polish Catholic devotion.
