Roman Catholic The life of Poland’s religious majority revolves around popular pilgrimage sites such as this one, built in Łagiewniki (a neighbourhood of Kraków),

where Saint M. Faustina Kowalska is worshipped. The Pauline monastery on Jasna Góra in Częstochowa with the celebrated icon of the Black

Madonna (a miniature of which Lech Wałęsa has famously worn in his lapel) remains the heart of Polish Roman Catholicism.
