Prayers to Our Lady of Czestochowa Since the 14th century, pilgrims have been making their way to the hilltop shrine dedicated to the Virgin of Czestochowa, the Black Madonna of Poland. Here countless prayers are offered to the Mother of God and her Divine Son.
You are invited to join your prayers with those who have made the pilgrimage to Mary's shrine and to have a candle lit in the Virtual Memorial Chapel as a token of remembrance and devotion to the Black Madonna.
At a time when Czestohowa was still a small medieval town, there stood on a nearby hill a wooden church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Here in 1384 the Prince Wladyslaw Opolski brought the image of the Mother of God which had been already recognised as miraculous and presented it to the Pauline Fathers.
From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of his Son. Full of grace, Mary is the most excellent fruit of redemption and is venerated throughout the world under many titles.
