Tomb of B. Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko, Memorial tomb near St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, Warsaw, Poland

The tomb of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko stands adjacent to St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Warsaw. A granite monument topped with a crucifix and surrounded by stone elements creates a place where thousands pause each year.

The priest was killed by state security agents in 1984, and his funeral drew hundreds of thousands of people. Following his beatification in 2010, the grave was restored and its meaning as a testimony against oppression was strengthened.

The site draws visitors from around the world who come to remember a priest who spoke out against injustice. People bring flowers and candles to express their connection to his memory.

The site stands within easy walking distance of a major church complex in central Warsaw. The cemetery is open year-round and paths are accessible for visitors of all abilities.

The grave was officially opened in 2010 and the priest's remains were examined as part of the beatification process. This rare procedure confirmed his identity and deepened the spiritual meaning of the place.
