Summary
Chronology of the events connected with a peregrination of the copy of the image of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Poland
1953–1956 – internment of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński – Primate of the Catholic Church in Poland (released in October 1956)
26 August 1956 – “Jasna Góra National Vows” performed during the absence of the Primate Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński; celebrations followed suggestions written by S. Wyszyński; the original image of Our Lady of Częstochowa was taken from the chapel and showed to the crowd of one million pilgrims gathered around the Jasna Góra Monastery
April 1957 – the copy of the image of Our Lady of Częstochowa meant for a peregrination is completed
May 1957 – S. Wyszyński takes the copy of the image to Vatican to be blessed by Pope Pius XII
26 August 1957 – the beginning of the peregrination of the copy of the image of Our Lady of Częstochowa; opening celebrations performed at Jasna Góra
1965 – beginning of the so-called “small peregrinations” (smaller copies of the image of Our Lady of Częstochowa were to visit private homes and families)
1966 – “Millennium year” – one-thousandth anniversary of Christianity in Poland (known as “the Baptizing of Poland”); regular parish peregrination is suspended during this year to emphasize the importance of the image-copy “visiting” all bishopric-capitals in Poland (peregrination to the bishopric capitals)
3 May 1966 – “Millennium year” celebrations at Jasna Góra; the image-copy “visits” the monastery
