We left our host families bright and early this morning. On our way to Czętochowa, we made a quick stop to the shrine of St-Hedwig. She is one of the patron saints of Poland.
3 hours of travel later, we arrived in Czętochowa. There were many pilgrims from all over the globe visiting Jasna Góra, shrine of the Black Madonna. There were too many things to see in a short amount of time, especially with the large crowds. We saw many beautiful altars, the shrine of the Black Madonna and a statue of Pope John Paul II. There were multiple masses going on throughout our visit with many priests and bishops in attendance. Luckily the rain held off until the end of our visit! We are waiting to commence the final leg of our journey into Krakòw.
