Itinerary
Day 9 | Thursday, April 27: Warsaw – Gietrzwald - Worliny

This morning, depart Warsaw to Gietrzwald - also referred to as "The Lourdes of Poland". While not as famous as Lourdes, this Shrine is a major pilgrimage destination in Poland. It dates back to the 16th Century, although the apparition itself took place between June 27th and September 16th of 1877, within a few years of the apparitions of Our Lady in Lourdes and La Salette. Our Lady appeared to a young girl on that first day, said to have been surrounded by angels within a bright light, and Our Lady requested that she return the next day. She did, but with a friend as well, and Our Lady appeared to both of them, holding the baby Jesus in her lap. For the next ten (10) weeks, the apparitions took place daily, always with the same message: "Pray the Rosary". The girls were instructed to go to a nearby spring, and she would bless it for the healing of both physical and spiritual maladies. As word spread, people flocked to the Shrine, and by September 8th - they counted 50,000 pilgrims. An investigation was begun after the apparitions ceased, examining the girls separately. Previously, their physical state during the apparitions was also recorded. The apparitions were finally approved in 1977, one hundred (100) years after they began. The Church was then designated as a Basilica Minor by Pope Paul VI in 1970. Dinner and overnight.

Day 10 | Friday, April 28: Worliny - Vilnius

After an early breakfast at our hotel, we depart for Vilnius, Lithuania. Dinner and overnight. (B, D)

The first image of Divine Mercy, revealed to mankind in the message of Divine Mercy and painted at the request of Jesus, according to Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska's vision in 1934, was painted here by the artist, Eugene Kazimirovski in the presence and under the instruction and direction of Saint Faustina herself and her spiritual director: Father Michael Sopocko. You will have free time to grab lunch on your own and the remainder of the afternoon free to spend at your leisure. We will meet in the evening for dinner, and a restful night's sleep at the hotel.
