Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Divine Mercy Sanctuary a place of pilgrimage
Kraków-Łagiewniki is the world center of Divine Mercy devotion and the resting place of St. Faustina Kowalska. The historic convent chapel, the original Divine Mercy image, Faustina’s tomb, the modern basilica, perpetual adoration, and the daily Hour of Mercy form a pilgrimage centered on trust in Christ’s mercy.
Kraków-Łagiewniki joins the original convent chapel of the Divine Mercy image and St. Faustina’s tomb with the modern basilica and perpetual adoration chapel. Structure the visit around the Hour of Mercy at 15:00 and leave time for both old and new sanctuaries.
