Obraz Serca Jezusowego w kościele w Pyrzanach, replika obrazu Serca Jezusowego z krakowskich Łagiewnik

Abstract

In the parish church in Pyrzany (the district of Witnica) is a painting of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, brought from the Kozaki-Zazule in 1945. The painting was funded by the Archbishop Karol Hryniewiecki, the bishop of Vilnius and the titular bishop of Perge, in the years 1890-1904. Jan Bąkowski, a Krakow painter, is most likely its author and the painting is a replica of the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of 1896 from the Church of the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy in Łagiewniki near Krakow. Sister Faustina Kowalska prayed before this painting and had numerous visions there in the years 1926-1928, 1933 and 1936-1938
