Jan Długosz, and we were pilgrims, pilgrims to the Krakow Church, pilgrims and the homeland on Skałka – said the prior.
On June 22, 1472, 12 monks came to Kraków from Jasne Góra. – They have become, in a way, the voice of a holy martyr, reminding us of the need for radicalism, faithfulness to God, uncompromisingness, concern for people and their dignity – said Fr. Mariusz Tabulski OSPPE.
