Golgota - SANKTUARIUM W LICHENIU

SANKTUARIUM MATKI BOŻEJ LICHEŃSKIEJ BOLESNEJ KRÓLOWEJ POLSKI

The idea of building Golgotha was born in 1976 out of a desire to compensate for the sacrilege committed against the cross during World War II. The crucifix, perforated by the German youth educator Berta Bauer, is now placed in the Chapel of the Holy Cross. This event inspired the stone mountain Golgotha to be a form of expiation, a work of penance and atonement for sins.

Przechodząc obok wejścia na Golgotę, napotkasz Pielgrzymie wielki kamień z wyrytym napisem: "Panie Jezu Chryste, to nie gwoździe Cię przybiły lecz mój grzech". Te słowa zaprowadzą Ciebie na szczyt Golgoty, a tam, spojrzenie na krzyż może otworzyć twoje serce na łaskę Bożego miłosierdzia

Golgotha is one of those places of the Lichen sanctuary that is always haunted during pilgrimages. Almost every pilgrim finds time to wander the winding path to the summit of Golgotha in silence and reflection, to stand at the cross and look with love at the Crucified Christ. It can not be otherwise. Our Lady of Licheń, called the Sorrowful Queen of Poland, calls for conversion and penance. The Sorrowful Mother directs pilgrims to the Crucified Christ, because only His love can convince the most unrepentant sinners.
