The Holy Mount of Grabarka (Święta Góra Grabarka in Polish) is considered to be the holiest location in Poland for Orthodox Christians.

A miracle occurred at Grabarka in 1710 during a deadly outbreak of cholera in the region. According to legend, one day an old man received an order from God to lead the people to the Mount at Grabarka, to set there a holy cross and to pray for salvation. The sick villagers followed the instructions of the old man, and the epidemic ended almost instantly.

The Holy Mount of Grabarka has been a center for pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians from Poland and other countries since the 18th century. Especially noteworthy is the feast of the Transfiguration of Christ in August, which draws about 100,000 believers from all over Europe. It is traditional for them to arrive at Grabarka by foot, some of them bearing the wooden crosses that can be seen surrounding the Church.

Thank you, Gisela!

I made some color shots too,
but they are waiting to be developed
after I have some more color rolls to process.
