The Province of Silesia (German: Provinz Schlesien; Polish: Prowincja Śląska; Silesian: Prowincyjŏ Ślōnskŏ) was a province of the German Kingdom of Prussia, existing from 1815 to 1919, when it was divided into the Upper and Lower Silesia provinces, and briefly again from 1938 to 1941.

Czestochowa is a lively city in the south of Poland with a rich religious history. The city is well-known for its stunning Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora. Every year, millions of pilgrims from all over the world come here to pay homage to the shrine and enjoy the peace that this holy place gives. The greatest treasure of the imposing Jasna Gora complex is the ancient miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary (Black Madonna) which origin is a mystery. Thanks to this beautiful painting, Jasna Gora became one of the largest Marian sanctuaries in Poland since the 15th century. There, it has been worshiped in desperate moments, especially during large-scale disasters such as epidemics. A characteristic feature of the famous icon are the scars on the face of the Our Lady of Czestochowa. Jasna Gora's Lady bears signs of wounds and pain. Pope Saint John Paul II visited over five times. Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis also have visited Jasna Gora. All in all, this huge monastic complex is well worth a visit. It houses an incredible collection of treasures. The work of art is impressive. Each building features fascinating exhibits. Highly recommended.
