The Cradle of Sainthood PEREGRINUS CRACOVIENSIS Zeszyt 10, 2000 ISSN 1425−1922 Stanisław Dziedzic The Cradle of Sainthood ow many universities can be found in Europe or even in the world, of which it can be said that they have been the cradles of saints, as is the case Hwith the Jagiellonian University? In fact it has been, and still is, the host of saints, blessed and those who died with a reputation of holiness are still growing by both those who died in the distant and not−so−distant past. During the mass in which the canonization was declared of Queen Jadwiga, the great founder and benefactor of the Cracow University, Pope John Paul II expressed this statement while highlighting and praising the queen’s contribution to his former Alma Mater. “Should not Cracow”, said the Pope, “along with all of Poland, be grateful for the works of Jadwiga that have blossomed so magnificently in the lives of so many sacred students and professors? Today, these great men of God of all generations, from John Kanty and Stanisław Kazimierczyk to the blessed Józef Sebastian Pelczar and God’s Servant Józef Bilczewski, appear before us to join in our hymn of the thanksgiving to God for the fact that, owing to the generous works of Queen Jadwiga this city has become the cradle of sainthood.”1 The ceremony in which Jadwiga was declared saint, held on Cracow’s Błonia on June 8, 1997, coincided with the 600th anniversary of the Faculty of Theology which was established due to the efforts of Jadwiga and her husband Jagiełło within the Studium Generale. A few hours after the ceremony, a unique, symbolic event took place at the University Church of St. Ann: John Paul II met with the academic community associated with the Jagiellonian University, the Papal Academy of The− ology, which continues the traditions of the Cracow Faculty of Theology, and the Rectors of all Polish autonomous institutions of higher education. The Pope stres− sed that this expression of unity and the need “to be rooted in all history of Polish science,” that the Jagiellonian foundation had brought about was an important message for promoting the identity of the Polish academic community and identify− ing its duties for the nation. 20 Stanisław Dziedzic “Together we return to the sources from which six hundred years ago the Jagiellonian University and its Faculty of Theology were born. Together we wish to take up once again the great spiritual heritage of this University for the history of our nation and the history of Europe, so this precious endowment could be transferred unharmed in the third Millenium to the next generation of Poles (...) Jadwiga, the sacred founder of the University, knew with the wisdom of a saint that a University, as a community of people pursuing the truth, is indispensable for the life of the nation and the life of the Church (...) The work of Jadwiga bore fruit in another dimension, as well as the history of Cracow in the 15th century is a history of saints closely associated with the Jagiellonian University.”2 The great veneration for and attachment of the Polish nation to the saintly Queen, was transformed into a religious cult soon after her death. Six hundred years passed when the Church issued an official decision declaring her a saint. For a long time, the intrigues of the Teutonic Knights and the Habsburgs delayed the process of canonization of the queen who died with a reputation of holiness. Nine sermons by University professors from the 15th century were devoted to the saintly monarch. The university that owes so much to Jadwiga, each year celebrates the anni− versary of her death on July 17. These events contribute to the profound and vivid propagation of the cult of the Queen. On the motion of the Bishop of Cracow, Zbigniew Oleśnicki, the Chancellor of the University, Archbishop Wojciech Jastrzę− biec established a special committee to record and investigate the miracles attribu− ted to her intervention (1426). The committee consisted of well−known representa− tives of Cracow’s academic community, including Paweł Włodkowic, Stanisław of Skalbmierz and Paweł of Zatok. In his sermon given during a solemn mass which was celebrated on the 27th anniversary of the death of Queen Jadwiga, Franciszek of Brzeg stated poetically: “Your Majesty the Queen, You are the pride of Cracow, of Poland, of the whole nation, As you were brave and your heart full of courage As you had loved noble things, Therefore the hand of the Lord will give you strength And you shall be blessed for centuries.”3 The locality of the Queen’s special cult which has continued incessantly since her death is Wawel Cathedral where the mortal remains of Jadwiga are buried. The location of her burial place was also special – the Cathedral chancel, on the left of the main altar where coronations of Polish kings were celebrated.

In the 17th century, the grave of the Queen was covered with inscribed plaques noting that it was the final resting place of the saintly monarch. In 1949, efforts for her beatification were resumed. Her grave was opened for the second time (the first was in 1887) and the mortal remains of Jadwiga were transferred to a marble sarcophagus which had been commissioned in 1902 by Karol Lanckoroński. This sepulchral monument of exceptional beauty was done in Carrara marble by the outstanding painter Antoni Madeyski, who also completed a beautiful statue of her in alabaster. Zofia Łuszczkiewiczówna was the model for this statue. The sarcophagus of Queen Jadwiga was modeled from the 15th−century sepulchral monument of Ilaria dela Caretto at the cathedral in Lucca, Italy. The grave of the Queen who rested there until 1987, was the focus of abun− dant reverence from Cracovians and the entire nation. Great promoters of raising of the Queen to the altars were the metropolitan archbishops of Cracow – Cardi− nals Adam Sapieha, Karol Wojtyła and Franciszek Macharski. During each of the pilgrimages to his home country, John Paul II visited the grave of Jadwiga. On June 8, 1979, during his first pilgrimage to Poland, he was the first to dedicate the Holy 232323232323 24 Stanisław Dziedzic The rational (rationale) donated by Queen Jadwiga to Bishops of Cracow, 1384-1386, Wawel Cathedral Treasury.

Photos: Karol Wojty³a, the then Bishop Metropolitan of Cracow wearing the rational for the first time (March 8, 1964) and his successor Cardinal Macharski (private collection of Stanis³aw Dziedzic) Mass to Blessed Queen Jadwiga at Wawel Cathedral. On June 10, 1987, he raised the relics of the blessed queen to the altar. The relics were placed in a mensa on the altar of the Black Crucifix at Wawel. The famous crucifix dating from the second half of the 14th century, has al− ways been venerated by great religious cult. Against the background of a silver plate, placed in a late−Baroque altar of black marble designed by Francesco Placidi and for several centuries veiled behind a transparent metal net, this crucifix has been among the greatest sacred objects in Poland’s most honored shrine. For cen− turies, the Black Crucifix was known as “the cross of Queen Jadwiga.” It is believed that the saintly queen prayed at that crucifix when she had to make crucial decisions and that at the foot of Christ Crucified she considered things important to the nation, the Church, the State and to herself. “According to tradition,” writes Michał Rożek, “the Saviour has spoken from this cross to the young Queen Jadwiga with these words ‘The request in your prayer will be fulfilled.’ This is likely where the idea of Christianization of Lithuania was conceived.”4 The Cradle of Sainthood 25 Visitors to Wawel Cathedral pray constantly at the sarcophagus of Queen Jadwiga, as they do at her reliquary at the mensa of the Black Crucifix. Near the sarcophagus, in an ornamented showcase, are the Queen’s sepulchral insignia – her scepter and royal apple in lime wood, probably once gilt... Jadwiga bequeathed all her jewelry to the University, the poor and to religious foundations. There are many such places in Wawel Cathedral. They are associated with those who were raised to the altars, are still awaiting the conclusion of beatification processes, died with a reputation of holiness, have been objects of a religious cult, including those whose popularity has faded away with time, but who were in one way or another connected with the Cracow University – monarchs, bishops, mem− bers of the Cathedral chapter, professors, university graduates and others. When walking down Wawel Hill towards main buildings of the University one should take the longer route along Kanonicza Street which is justly thought of as the most beautiful street of old Cracow. Historic townhouses in the Gothic, Rena− issance, Baroque and Neo−classical styles were remodelled many times. Originally most were inhabited by the canons of Cathedral Chapter. They were mansions and palaces, not simple townhouses, richly furnished, often with grand interiors and fine courtyards. The tenants of these buildings were replaced and their functions have changed, but the street has lost nothing of its picturesque charms.

  • The Millennium of Polish Pilgrimages
    PEREGRINUS CRACOVIENSIS Zeszyt 10, 2000 ISSN 1425−1922 Antoni Jackowski, Izabela Sołjan The Millennium of Polish Pilgrimages 1. igrations stimulated by religious motifs have played an important role wi− thin the migration processes in many countries. Peregrinations to holy pla− Mces have existed almost since the beginning of mankind. Apart from the religious values, pilgrimages have also constituted an important element in the deve− lopment of the geographical horizons of societies. Also they have always been one of the main factors determining religious culture in its broadest meaning. In Poland, the pilgrimage tradition goes back to pagan times, while the early days of Christian pilgrimages could be noted as early as the 11th century. At present, about 5−7 million people a year participate in the pilgrimage migrations. This is about 15% of the population of Poland. The pilgrims are Roman and Orthodox Catholics as well as members of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Muslim. In the past, the pilgrimage groups included the members of Jewish congregations and during the years of partitions also the Polish Protestants. The Poles now account for more than 3−5% of the Christian pilgrims all over the world and for about 20% in Europe. At the moment, in Poland, there are more than 500 pilgrimage sanctuaries. The absolute majority (98%) of the pilgrimage centres belong to the Roman Catholic Church. Among those Catholic centres dominant position belongs to St. Mary’s sanctuaries. There are about 430 of them and out of this number 200 possess crowned effigies of Our Lady. The most important centres have acquired international fame.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See POPE JOHN PAUL II GENERAL AUDIENCE Wednesday, 18 June 1997 Historic celebrations marked Polish visit 1. I would like to begin today’s meeting by telling you about the recent pilgrimage to Poland which divine Providence gave me the opportunity to make. There were three principal reasons for this Pastoral Visit: the International Eucharistic Congress in Wroclaw, the 1,000th anniversary of St Adalbert’s martyrdom and the 600th anniversary of the foundation of the Jagiellonian University of Kraków. These events were the nucleus of the whole itinerary, which from 31 May to 10 June included Wroclaw, Legnica, Gorzów, Wielkopolski, Gniezno, Poznañ, Kalisz, Czêstochowa, Zakopane, LudŸmierz, Kraków, Dukla and Krosno, concentrating on three great cities: Wroclaw, the site of the 46th International Eucharistic Congress, Gniezno, a city linked with the death of St Adalbert, and Kraków, where the Jagiellonian University was founded. 2. The 46th International Eucharistic Congress in Wroclaw began on Trinity Sunday, 25 May, with the Eucharistic celebration presided at by my Legate, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Secretary of State. A rich spiritual and liturgical programme filled the entire week, centring on the main theme: “For freedom Christ has set us free” (Gal 5:1). The Lord enabled me to take part in the conclusion of the work and so, on the last day of May, I was able to venerate Christ in the Eucharist, adoring him in the cathedral of Wroclaw together with people who had come from all over the world. That same day I took part in an ecumenical prayer service with representatives of the Churches and Ecclesial Communities.

And just like Abraham, every Christian who is a guest in this land journeys throughout his life towards God in ‘Heavenly Jerusalem’. The tradition of going on pilgrimages is part of a European cultural heritage inseparably connected with the Christian religion and particular holy places: Jerusalem, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela, where the relics of St James the Greater are worshipped. The Way of St James began almost two thousand years ago on the banks of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Tiberias). As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people’. At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

  • Forms of Piety Among Members of Religious Confraternities in Krakow in the Early Modern Period
    Folia Historica Cracoviensia, 21: 2015, s. 103–146 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/fhc.1732 Andrzej Bruździński The Pontifical University of John paul II in Krakow Forms of piety among members of religious confraternities in Krakow in the early modern period One of Milanese diocesan synods under a great Milanese cardinal and archbishop St Charles Borromeo (1538–1584) summoned priests to forcibly encourage their faithful to enrol in a confraternity, as fraternal duties would contribute to changes in one’s habits and deepening one’s piety, and, consequently, to salvation1. As the most eminent advocate of the post-Trent Church reform, Borromeo was undoubt- edly a role model in laying down the principles of Church ministry to all bishops of his epoch, including Krakow bishops. Bernard Maciejowski (Ciołek coat of arms, 1548–1608), who later on became a Krakow bishop, also spent some time at Borromeo’s court in order to confirm himself in the conviction of his priestly vocation. Maciejowski drew on the example of Borromeo’s life and teachings in his priestly and episcopal service, also in reference to religious confraternities. Marcin Szyszkowski (Ostoja coat of arms, 1554–1630) became so fascinated with the work of St Charles that he founded him a sanctuary at Karczówka in Kielce. At this point one should emphasize a noticeable and undeniable continuity of the educational mission of entire generations of Polish bishops, in particular Krakow bishops, who were genuinely interested in developing various fraternal commu- nities in their dioceses2. It was presumably for this reason that Rev. Just Pomorski 1 Acta Ecclesiæ Mediolanensis ab eius initiis usque ad nostram aetatem opera et studio, vol.

ANDRZEJ NOWICKI KU SPEŁNIONEJ NADZIEI KOŚCIOŁA Integralną częścią środowiska uprawiającego refl eksję teologiczną na po- ziomie akademickim jest od lat Papieski Wydział Teologiczny we Wrocławiu. Spełnia właściwą sobie powinność naukową poprzez poszukiwanie prawdy, na którą istnieje zapotrzebowanie nie tylko ze strony członków Kościoła, bowiem potrzebuje ją znać właściwie każdy człowiek. Praca teologa pochylonego nad Objawieniem rozumianym jako Słowo Boga o sobie samym i ukazujące kondycję człowieka we wszechogarniającej optyce, jest nieustanną próbą poszukiwania odpowiedzi na proste pytania stawiane od zawsze i równocześnie reakcją na nowe wyzwania współczesności w tym wzglę- dzie. Kim jest człowiek i w jaki sposób każdy może najsensowniej wpisać się w bieg historii rodzaju ludzkiego? Nie wszystkie zasłyszane z otoczenia podpo- wiedzi rzeczywiście mu sprzyjają, jak choćby te, które w wierze religijnej upatru- ją zagrożenia ludzkiej osoby, zwłaszcza tego, co jest w niej konstytutywne: daru i zadania, a mianowicie wolności.
