Krakow Poland 🇵🇱

Jesus I Trust in You ❤️

The Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Kraków, Poland, is a significant Roman Catholic pilgrimage site dedicated to the Divine Mercy devotion and Saint Faustina Kowalska. Located in the Łagiewniki district at Siostry Faustyny 3, 30-420 Kraków , the sanctuary encompasses the original convent chapel and a modern basilica

Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905–1938), a Polish nun of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, is known for her visions of Jesus Christ, who conveyed to her the message of Divine Mercy. She recorded these experiences in her diary, which became the foundation for the Divine Mercy devotion. After her death from tuberculosis in Kraków, her remains were interred in the convent chapel. In 1968, Cardinal Karol Wojtyła (later Pope John Paul II) designated the chapel as a shrine due to the growing number of pilgrims
