Sanctuary in Kalwaria Pacławska, Franciscan sanctuary and basilica in Kalwaria Pacławska, Poland
The Basilica of the Finding of the Holy Cross stands as a religious complex with multiple chapels spread across a hilly landscape in southeastern Poland.
Founded in 1775, the sanctuary became a destination for pilgrims seeking spiritual guidance through its carefully designed paths and architectural elements representing Jerusalem.
The sanctuary hosts an annual Great Kalwaryjski Pilgrimage in August, where participants follow specific routes called dróżki while engaging in traditional worship services.
Visitors can attend daily masses throughout the year, with different schedules for summer and winter seasons, and access confession services during weekday operating hours.
The sanctuary contains an image of Our Lady Listening adorned with a glass gown, presented as a gift from the Border Guard to represent gratitude.
