Jasna Góra (Bright/Clear Mountain -eng) is a Monastery of the Pauline Fathers in Częstochowa and is, by far, the most famous Polish Sanctuary with more than 4 million visitors annually. With approximately 200 000 pilgrim-visits, the Monastery is the main focus of pilgrimages in Poland, particularly those on foot, and one of the most often visited Christian shrines.
Jasna Góra's most valuable treasure is the miraculous painting of Our Lady. Because of this painting, Jasna Góra became Poland's most famous sanctuary among the numerous sites to Marian devotion throughout the country. But it is not just the tradition, which considers Luke the Apostle as the artist, or the influence of monarchs to whom Jasna Góra has always been dear that made this place famous above all others. It is the Miraculous presence of the image which has always attracted pilgrims not only from all over Poland but from all over the world, as the numerous votive offerings show.
