Orthodox church of Icon of Our Lady in Grabarka, Eastern Orthodox church on Holy Mount in Grabarka, Poland

The Orthodox Church of Icon of Our Lady stands among a dense forest filled with thousands of crosses placed by pilgrims over generations.

After a cholera epidemic in 1710, local residents sought refuge on this mount, leading to the construction of the first religious chapel.

The church maintains traditional Orthodox religious services and holds annual celebrations during the Transfiguration feast in August, drawing 100,000 followers.

The church complex includes a monastery, accommodation facilities, and dining areas to support religious activities and welcome numerous visitors.

Pilgrims carry wooden crosses through the forest paths to place them near the church, creating an expanding collection of religious markers.
