Sianowo

Sianowo was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Mirachowo County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

The maimed left their crutches and sticks in Sianowo; young people who wished to be married willingly made pilgrimages; soldiers reporting to the battlefields of World War II sought blessings.

His and many other testimonies led Chełmno Kazimierz Bishop Józef Kowalski to address a request (1965) to Pope Paul VI to crown the miraculous statue as the Queen of the Kashubes.

In 1987, Pope John Paul II christened Sianowo as an important place for Kashubian religious worship.

He told:[9]"All of you, your families and your troubles I put to the feet of Christ's Mother, hallowed in many sanctuaries of this land, and especially in Sianowo ...".

[10] The Pilgrims' Square, where approximately 20,000 people assemble every year to celebrate the July church festival, has been restored.

They carry props and banners bearing witness to their attachment to the Catholic faith and the Kashubian identity.
