The Wiktorówki Chapel


Located in Wiktorówki in the High Tatry mountains is a wooden chapel by the name of Our Lady Queen Jaworzyńska of the Tatry Moun tains. As the legend goes, in 1860, a shepherdess by the name of Marysia Murzańska saw a glowing figure of Our Lady among the trees. This private revelation was the beginning of the Our Lady of Jaworzyńska. Once the chapel was built, mountaineers, Highlanders, rescuers, and tourists often visited. The then Bishop Karol Wojtyła visted the chapel many times. On June 5th 1997, the Pope flew in a helicopter from Zakopane to Babia Góra and from there he flew over Nowy Targ towards Pieniny. After the Pope flew over Czorsztyn, he saw the two castles there, he flew towards Rusinowa Polana. Unfortunately, the planned visit to Wiktorówki couldn’t go ahead because the amount of people that were already there was too great.
