The
Jasna Góra Monastery (
Polish: Jasna Góra,
Hungarian: Fényes Hegy,
Latin: Clarus Mons,
English: Bright Hill) is a
Pauline Fathers monastery in the City of
Częstochowa,
Poland.
The monastery has been a pilgrimage destination for hundreds of years, and it contains the most important icon of the
Virgin Mary in this part of Europe. The icon, depicting the Mother of God with the Christ Child, is known as the
Black Madonna of Częstochowa or Our Lady of Częstochowa, which is widely venerated and credited with many miracles. Among these, it's credited with miraculously saving the Jasna Góra
monastery during
a siege that took place at the time of
The Deluge, a 17th century
Swedish invasion. Although this event was from lesser military importance, the event stimulated the Polish resistance. The Poles couldn't immediately change the course of
the war but after an alliance with the Crimean Khanate they repulsed the Swedes. Shortly thereafter, in the cathedral of
Lwów, on
April 1,
1656,
Jan Kazimierz, the
King of Poland, solemnly pronounced his vow to consecrate the country to the protection of the
Mother of God and proclaimed Her the Patron and
Queen of the lands in his kingdom.
