Our Lady of Longing
Matka Boza Teskniaca, Warsaw, Poland (1998)
One of the oldest churches in the Archdiocese of Warsaw is St. Elizabeth Powsin. Located on the main altar is a painting of Our Lady of Longing - artist unknown - from the first half of the seventeenth century.
At either side, the image is surrounded by statues of Saints Adalbert and Stanislaus - Polish bishops and martyrs. The testimony of miracles and graces relating to the Our Lady of Longing icon have been collected at least since the mid-seventeenth century.
On June 28, 1998, the image became the fourth image of Mary in the Archdiocese of Warsaw to be canonically crowned.
