Tips

Sławek Krawczyk 🇵🇱

July 17, 2023

The chapel was built in the place where on August 5, 1640, the Mother of God appeared to Jakub Ruszczyk. The original chapel dates back to 1646. The current one dates from the 18th century, its present shape was given in the 19th century and thoroughly renovated in 2008. The Chapel on the Water is basically two wooden chapels supported on concrete pillars, connected by a wooden bridge and covered with a common multi-hipped roof, thus forming a single object. Inside you can see a copy of the miraculous image of Our Lady of Krasnobród. The turbulent history of the original miraculous picture is also placed here. Next to the chapel there is a figure commemorating the revelation of the Mother of God to Jakub Ruszczyk, made of Joseph stone by Andrzej Gontarz, an artist from Krasnobród. Around the chapel, among flowers and shrubs, there is a path with 15 rosary stations, which were also made by Andrzej Gontarz. There are springs under the chapel, the water of which has miraculous, healing properties, which is confirmed even by church documentation from the 17th century. Numerous cases of graces obtained are still recorded, and their descriptions are kept in the parish archives. Every year, on the night of July 1-2, the main indulgence service in honor of Our Lady of Blueberries is held at the chapel. From the Chapel on the Water to the Sanctuary leads the three-row Avenue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also called chestnut.
