 | | This year the shrine at Czestochowa is the focus of national attention for another reason, as Poland observes the 350th anniversary of the consecration of the Polish people to the Virgin, during the Sweden invasion of 1656. |
 | | As he ends his 2nd day in Poland, Pope Benedict will reach the archbishop's palace in Krakow, which was the residence of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla from 1958 to 1972. |
 | | On his last trip to his native land, in August 2002, Pope John Paul stayed there, and was memorably serenaded by young people who sang traditional Polish tunes outside the building until finally the Polish Pontiff emerged to greet them and, finally, gently persuade them to let him sleep. |
