We begin our day with Mass at Jasna Gora Monastery where the picture of the Black Madonna is located. We will have time to explore the most important places of religious worship. The monastery has a pilgrimage tradition that goes back to the 14th-century. St. Pope John Paul II was known to make frequent visits to the monastery throughout his life. We will have time to venerate the priceless treasures contained within, including the Miraculous Icon.

Day 6: Zakopane - Krakow
This morning we will visit the Jaszczorowka Chapel in Zakopane which has been visited several times by young Karol Wojtyla (St. Pope John Paul II), as it lies on the walking paths where he often finished his walks for prayer and reflection.
