List of pilgrimage sites in Silesia

The list of pilgrimage sites in Silesia contains the most important pilgrimage sites , pilgrimage sites and pilgrimage churches in the Lower Silesian , Opole and Upper Silesian Voivodeships in Poland.

In Silesia, too, pilgrimage has its roots in the early Middle Ages and there are many places of pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is a meeting with the community of believers on a common path (procession) and always leads to holy places, symbolic places or places associated with miraculous events. The reasons for making a pilgrimage can be very different, e.g. B. Showing repentance (asking for forgiveness of sins), asking or thanking for special events (for example, for a healing). Here pilgrimage sites are described where there are reasons for pilgrimages on one (or more) days of the year, when the churches or chapels are open for liturgical celebrations.

The Silesian pilgrimage sites are in the following dioceses:

• Archdiocese of Wroclaw (Archidiecezja wrocławska)
• Diocese of Liegnitz (Diecezja legnicka)
• Diocese of Schweidnitz (Diecezja świdnicka)
• Diocese of Opole (Diecezja opolska)
• Archdiocese of Katowice (Archidiecezja katowicka)
• Diocese of Gliwice (Diecezja gliwicka)
• Diocese of Sosnowitz (Diecezja sosnowiecka)
• Bielitz-Saybusch diocese (Diecezja bielsko-żywiecka)
• Archdiocese of Czestochowa (Archidiecezja częstochowska)
• Diocese of Kalisch (Diecezja kaliska)
• Diocese of Grünberg-Landsberg / Warthe (Diecezjazielonogórsko-gorzowska)

Emergence

Pilgrimage churches are distinguished by a sanctuary , where the faithful particularly venerate an image or figure (sculpture). Most pilgrimage sites are Marian pilgrimage sites that are visited during the various Marian festivals, e.g. B.

• Annunciation (March 25)
• Visitation of the Virgin Mary (July 2nd)
• Our Lady on Mount Carmel or Scapular Festival (July 16)
• Maria Schnee (August 5th)
• Assumption of Mary (August 15)
• Birth of Mary (September 8th)
• Name of Mary (September 12th)
• Seven Sorrows of Mary (September 15)
• Maria Loreto or Loretto (House of Our Lady where Maria was born and is said to have lived)
• Maria-Hilf or the Helpful Virgin (protector of life)

The oldest pilgrimage sites from the 12th to 14th centuries are Wartha (Bardo), Grüssau (Krzeszów), Ratibor (Racibórz) and Częstochowa-Jasna Góra), the latter place historically belonging to Lesser Poland, now the Silesian Voivodeship (Województwo śląskie) . Most of the pilgrimage sites were built between the 15th and 17th centuries.

New places of pilgrimage emerged after 1945, when the Poles who were expelled from the former Polish eastern regions (today Belarus, Ukraine and Lithuania) took their images of grace from the pilgrimage churches there and transferred them to existing Silesian churches, e. B. that

• Our Lady's picture from Podkamień in the Ukraine, today in the former Dominican Church in Wroclaw
• Our Lady image of the Victorious Virgin Mary of Mariampol in Lithuania, today in the Church of St. Mary on the Sand in Wroclaw

Many new pilgrimage churches were built and consecrated at the suggestion of the Polish Pope John Paul II in the 1980s and especially in the 1990s. B. in Jaworzno – Osiedle Stałe near Kattowitz or the diocesan shrine of Our Lady of Fátima in Sosnowitz.

Some pilgrimage churches have the title of minor basilica . For many visitors, the monasteries, churches or chapels are also of particular art-historical value. Sometimes a national cultural monument or even a world cultural heritage .
