A LITTLE HISTORY ON OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA. THE IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA, FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE SHRINE, WAS RECOGNIZED AS EXTRAORDINARY SURROUNDED BY THE DEVOTION OF THE FAITHFUL, INCLUDING POLISH KINGS, WHO OFFERED HER NUMEROUS GIFTS AND VOTIVE OFFERINGS. JAN DLUGOSZ CALLS OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA "THE MOST WORTHY QUEEN OF THE WORLD AND OURS".

THE FIRST CORONATION OF THE IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF TOOK PLACE ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, 1717. IT WAS THE RESULT OF CENTURIES OLD POLISH DEVOTION FOR THE BLESSED VIRGIN DISPLAYED BY ALL PEOPLE AND RULERS OF THE POLISH NATION. THE DECISION TO CORRELATE THE ICON WAS TAKEN BY POPE CLEMENT XI, WHO OFFERED PRECIOUS CROWNS. HOWEVER, ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 22-23, 1909 THESE CROWNS TOGETHER WITH THE PEARL DRESS SURROUNDING THE ICON OF OUR LADY WERE STOLEN BY UNKNOWN PREDATORS. THE THEFT OF POPE CLEMENTS CROWNS CAUSED GRIEF NOT ONLY IN THE POLISH NATION, BUT ALSO MOVED POPE PIUS X, WHO THEN SAID: I HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT POLAND IS CRYING I DECIDED TO OFFER THE CROWN TO THE HOLY MOTHER IN PLACE OF THOSE THAT ONE OF MY PREDECESSORS SENT I ONLY REGRET THAT MY POVERTY DID NOT ALLOW ME TO MAKE A GIFT SO MAGNIFICENT THAT MY HEART WANTED TO OFFER.

IF IT WERE IN MY POWER THEN I WOULDN'T MAKE A MIRACLE TO MAKE MY GIFT AS MAGNIFICENT AS POSSIBLE TO EXPRESS MY DEVOTION TO THE MOTHER OF GOD AND MY LOVE TO THE POLISH NATION.
