Poland’s Holy City! Czestochowa 🇵🇱 Jasna Góra & More

We took a train to Czestochowa, Poland! 🇵🇱
The Jasna Góra Monastery in Czestochowa, Poland, is a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary and one of the country's places of pilgrimage. The image of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, also known as Our Lady of Czestochowa, to which miraculous powers are attributed, is one of Jasna Góra's most precious treasures.

Jasna Gora looks beautiful indeed. I've never been there before but enjoy listening to Golec Orkiestra carols concert at Christmas time. The concert was filmed at Jasna Gora. I recommend looking up Golec Orkiestra Cicha Noc Jasna Gora. That's the band's rendition of Silent Night, and beautiful shots of the Jasna Gora basilica, in the festive atmosphere, are plentiful.

@@tjblues01 You are the closest, but I do not agree with showing a nasal vowel "ę" as "en", it is rather close to Czech "ou". I do not recommend the wikipedia sound box whereas they mispronounced it. You are right, Polish "ch" is not the same as "h".

I was born there and lived very close to the monastery when I was a child. Last week I visited Częstochowa (as I live in the UK now) being in Park License for thee first time in my life. Seeing that beech, I had literally the same impressions, as you did. Thanks for posting this video. You're doing great job.

Folk etymology derives the name of the city from the phrase often hide. The name of Częstochowa would arise because the view of the city was often hidden among the surrounding hills from the pilgrims approaching the city. Często chowa = often hide btw Thanks for presenting my country in superlatives :) Thanks to U I can see places that I haven't been even though I live in Poland. About flags : Hungary or Italy ,Denmark 100% and Salvador or Honduras . Not sure because perspective 😃

[@tomcioraj1464]

Historians rather say (claim) that the name comes from a male name: Częstoch. He was supposed to be the legendary founder of Częstochowa.

[@atabeel]

Fun fact: you can try to literally translate Często-Chowa as Often-Hides ;) I've heard that this name came from the fact that it is located in hilly land and when you are driving to it then it often hides behind hills - but this is probably not true explanation.

[@tomcioraj1464]

Yes, Historians rather say (claim) that the name comes from a male name: Częstoch. He was supposed to be the legendary founder of Częstochowa.

[@TESTOSTEROL13]

its like catholic mekka

[@informationcollectionpost3257]

Very interesting city even for a stanch but ecumenical protestant. I don't know how my wife an ex-catholic would take it but I am sure she would survive it. It took a tour of a Orthodox church, they offer public tours and explanations of their religious formalities in some USA cities, to break the ice with that end of the religious world as not being so bad but yes, its different. If we stick to the basics we really wouldn't have to many arguements, unless we went out of way to have them. ( which people do, but why they do this, it sure beats me) Great architecture in the video and a nice open city. Perhaps they stole the idea of an inland beach from some USA state parks as its an inexpensive way to have a sandy beach when you can't travel to one. Copying is the greatest complement and form of flattery so they say.

Ok, you were at Jasna Góra, but did you see the greatest holiness of Poles - the Image of the Black Madonna. Even the communists did not confiscate this painting, fearing the fury of the entire Polish society, believers and non-believers, if they decided to do so. Poland was the only communist country where the faith was practiced because 90 percent were Catholics.
