The temple in Lichen is a unique votive offering. It is not only about its size, but above all about the motives of its uprising. The temple is an expression of gratitude to the millions of pilgrims who, with Our Lady of Lichen and through her, experienced the mercy of God. People healed of diseases of body and soul, comforted and strengthened in faith create a great community of devotees of the Mother of God who, through the sign of the temple, want to thank God for the favors received. Hence, one should look at the immensity of the temple and be amazed not so much by its size as by the depth of Christian gratitude.
