ADORATION C HAPEL It was a turbulent and trying time in Poland’s history; many people fell victim to the dreaded Black Plague that stalked Europe. The population was depleted and religious standards changed. People were devastated by the loss of family and friends and the overall outlook was hopeless. A strange phenomenon arose from the swamps near Bawol. Nobody knew what to make of the rays of light and lightning bolts that ran across the sky. After the lights were seen, people visited the spot to see who or what was causing the amazing light that nightly lit up the sky. During the miraculous occurrence, news reached Bawol that someone had broken into a church in Krakow and stolen the pyx containing the Most Holy Eucharist. The bishop instructed the people to pray and fast for the safe return of the Sacred Host, but was fearful that the thief had desecrated the Real Presence of Jesus. Hearing of the mysterious lights emanating from the swamp, the Bishop led a procession to the site. The people dug into the marsh and found the pyx, which contained the Blessed Sacrament, perfectly preserved. After the Sacred Host was restored to the Krakow Church, the mysterious lights stopped. King Casimir the Great had the swamp drained and erected a magnificent church which he dedicated as Corpus Christi, the Body of Christ.
