Congratulations on your sale. Since I live in Doylestown, Pa I know exactly where this Shrine is. My husband and I worship there every Sunday at the 5:00 mass spoken in English also my husband is one of the ushers who does the collections. Are you aware about a year ago they did some remodeling of the outside of the shrine, lots of marble and huge niches to hold a beatiful madonna and there is a huge statue of Pope John Paul II. Have you been to America to see it.

Andrzej, this a beautiful piece of art and description. It reminds very much of my late parents and their deep faith. You may be interested in viewing a photo I had taken of a large banner of the Black Madonna which is found in Kazuby, Ontario at a summer camp. It is not my work of art, but just a photo I took. Wilno, Ontario, near Kazuby, is the first Polish settlement in Canada. f/v

Description:



The Black Madonna of Czestochowa (Polish: Czarna Madonna or Matka Boska Czestochowska, Latin: Imago thaumaturga Beatae Virginis Mariae Immaculatae Conceptae, in Claro Monte.Orginal Icon of the Virgin Mary housed at the Jasna G�ra Monastery in Czestochowa, Poland.
The Black Madonna is credited with miraculously saving the monastery of Jasna Gora (English: Bright Mount) from a 17th century Swedish invasion, The Deluge, which actually changed the course of the war. This event led King John II Casimir Vasa to "crown" Our Lady of Czestochowa ("the Black Madonna") as Our Lady of Czestochowaand Protector of Poland (1656).

The National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa (or simply Czestochowa), known also as the American Czestochowa is a Polish-American Roman Catholic shrine near Doylestown, Pennsylvania, founded in 1953.

In 1953 a Polish Pauline monk, Father Michael M. Zembrzuski, purchased a tract of land near Doylestown with the intention of building a chapel dedicated to the Black Madonna of Czestochowa at Jasna Gora, Poland's most important religious icon, to reconnect Polish-Americans with their Polish Catholic roots. A barn was converted into the first chapel; it was moved to a new site and dedicated on June 26, 1955.
The chapel was reorganized as a shrine to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of the Polish nation in 1966. It was dedicated on October 16, 1966 by Archbishop (later Cardinal) John Krol and President Lyndon B. Johnson. The centerpiece of the new shrine was a church building designed by the Polish-American architect George Szeptycki housing the replica of the Black Madonna painting.

Since 1987, around the second week in August, there is an annual walking pilgrimage to the shrine from Sts Peter and Paul Church in Great Meadows, New Jersey crossing the border into Pennsylvania and going to the shrine at Doylestown, akin to the walk to Czestochowa from other parts of Poland. There are three groups that walk in the pilgrimage, a Polish group, a Polish youth group, and an American group, with a Spanish group sometimes joining the American group. Usually, about 2,000 pilgrims take part.
