•Sanctuary of Calvary God’s Mother - 38 km from Cracow. The development of the city is connected with pilgrimages to the convent. Mountain of Crucifixion, the founder decided to build a chapel of Christ’s Grave and near, small chapel of Bernardines, who are to be guardians of those chapels. Later Kalwaria used to be similar to Jerusalem. There is a path of Lord’s Pain from chapel to the Grave of Christ. I encourage you to watch Mystery of Lord’s Pain in Great Friday and in Day of falling asleep of God’s Mother, 15th of August and if you want to concentrate on prayer in silence then it is better to come to Kalwaria in a week-day. |
