As early as the fourth century the image of St. Mary was sent from the Holy Land by St. Helena to her son, Emperor Constantine, in Byzantium. Before the year 1000, it reached Southern Poland as part of the dowry in marriage between families from Constantinople and Kiev.<br>Millions of pilgrims from all over the world come to Częstochowa to see it.<br>There have been reports for centuries of miraculous events occuring to those who made a pilgrimage to the unique portrait.
