Legends associated with a given place cause them to acquire the attribute of a certain kind of magic, which prevents you from rushing further and, after stopping for a moment, not being interested in them.

In this place, according to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared on October 16, 1719 to an 11-year-old shepherd in an image painted on a sheet of metal surrounded by light.

This painting disappeared, and in the place where it was searched, a spring gushed out, which was later covered with a wall.

Crowds of pilgrims began to arrive at the hastily erected chapel with an altar dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, filling the surrounding fields with prayers.

The first chapel was built in 1719 by devotees of Our Lady shortly after Her miraculous apparition.

The current chapel was built in 1946 on the site of the previous ones.

The cult of Mary in the Wardęgów sign continues, and its vitality is demonstrated by new forms of expressing it, while maintaining tradition. Up to 5,000 individual pilgrims and pilgrimage groups come to the indulgence ceremonies, which take place on the first Monday and Tuesday after the celebration of Pentecost (...)

An image of the Virgin Mary and Child carved in wood by an unknown artist is located in the central point of the altar on a light blue background. Mary dressed in white and blue embraces little Jesus in a white robe with bare feet. The Son of God blesses the people with a gesture of his right hand, whose three straight fingers remind us of the mystery of the Holy Trinity, and the two folded fingers remind us of his divine and human nature. The cross in His left hand reminds us of the saving suffering that awaits Him. The royal attributes of both of them are their crowns. The scepter in Mary's left hand is her attribute of the monarch - the Queen of heaven and earth.
