Sandomierz, Poland Cemetery
Video and pictures I took of the Sandomierz, Poland cemetery, with narration. I discuss the difference between Polish and American cemeteries. I also talk about a Polish holiday called Święto Zmarłych (Day of the Dead), which is celebrated in honor of the deceased in Poland. It is a national Catholic holiday.

Kwesty na cmentarzach w Kielcach i Sandomierzu - Sandomierz News 2009.11.01
Sandomierskie wiadomości z 1 listopada 2009. Od dwóch dni w różnych miejscach naszego województwa trwają zbiórki pieniędzy na ratowanie cennych nagrobków. Okazuje się, że odwiedzający groby swoich bliskich i tym razem nie zawiedli. Pieniądze do puszek wrzucali także sandomierzanie. Tu celem było ratowanie XVIII wiecznego cmentarza katedralnego. Cmentarz nasz ma swoją historię długą. Jak mówi napis na bramie - 1792 - jest równy powązkom. Spoczywają tu znani sandomierzanie a ich nagrobki to prawdziwe dzieła sztuki. By uchronić je od zapomnienia i zniszczenia organizowana jest coroczna kwesta. W inny sposób trudno pozyckać środki na odnowę pomników zabytkowych, które są. A wtedy ludzie czują jak gdyby taką potrzebe odnowienia w tym czasie. W trakcie ubieglocrocznej kwesty w Sandomierzu udało się zebrać ponad 13 tys. zł. Dzięki staraniom Komitetu Odnowy Cmentarza Katedralnego odrestaurowano ponad 30 nagrobków.

Sandomierz News from November 1, 2009. For two days collections for saving valueable monuments have taken place in many cities of our voivodeship. It appears that people visiting the graves of thier close ones didn't disappoint this time, too. People of Sandomierz put money in the collection boxes, too. Here the goal was saving the XVIII century Cathedral Cemetery. The cemetery has a long history. As the scipture on the gate says - 1792 - it's as old as Powązki. Famous citizens of Sandomierz are buried here and their tombs are real works of art. The annual collection is organized to protect them from oblivion and destruction. It's hard to obtain money for the renovation of the tombs by other means and now it's such time that people feel the need to save them. During last year's collection in Sandomierz over 13,000 zł was gathered. Thanks to the effort of the Committee of Cathedral Cemetery Revival over 30 tombs were restored.

Uroczystości upamiętniające żołnierzy AK - Sandomierz News 2009.06.26
Sandomierskie wiadomości z 26 lipca 2009. Odbyły się uroczystości upamiętniające żołnierzy Armii Krajowej poległych w bitwie pod Pielaszowem. Zginęło w niej kilkudziesięciu partyzantów biorących udział w zgrupowaniu w ramach akcji Burza. W całym kraju zmobilizowano ponad 100 tysięcy żołnierzy i oficerów AK. Wycofująca się z frontu wschodniego niemiecka armia była jednak trudnym przeciwnikiem. Boleśnie przekonali się o tym partyzanci z oddziału kapitana Swojaka, którzy w okolicach Pielaszowa zostali otoczeni przez wroga. Przez lata byli szykanowani przez komunistyczny reżim. Dziś wspominani są jak bohaterowie. Ich zbiorowa mogiła znajduje się na Cmentarzu Katedralnym w Sandomierzu. Dla żołnierzy Polskiego Państwa Podziemnego uroczystości upamiętniające wydarzenia sprzed 65 lat mają bardzo osobisty charakter. To okazja by spotkac dawno nie widzianych towazyszy broni. W rozmowach wracają wspomnienia wydarzeń o któych dziś czytamy w podręcznikach historii.

Sandomierz News from July 26, 2009. Celebrations commemorating the Home Army soldiers who died in battle of Pielaszów took place today. Several tens of partisans who grouped to participate in Operation Tempest died in it. Over 100.000 Home Army soldiers and officers were mobilized in the whole country. However the German Army withdrawing from the Eastern front was a difficult enemy. Partisans from captain Swojak's unit learned this the hard way, as they got surrounded by the enemy near Piekoszów. For years they were harassed by the communist regime. Today they're remembered as heroes. Their mass grave is situated in the Cathedral Cemetery in Sandomierz. For the soldiers of Polish Underground State the celebrations commemorating the events from 65 years ago have very personal character. It's an opportunity to meet brothers in arms they didn't see for a long time.

Spojrzenie Polaka z Ukrainy na kulturę i historię Polski
Chciałbym wytłumaczyć swoją motywację wyboru muzyki niemieckiego zespołu Karat na muzyczne tło dla niniejszej prezentacji. Oczywiście, że doskonale zdaję sobie sprawę z tego, jak szczególnie wyjątkowym i symbolicznym dla nas, wszystkich Polaków, niezależnie od miejsca zamieszkania jest takie miesce jak zamek na Wawelu i znajdująca się na wzgórzu Wawelskim Katedra, w której spoczywają nasi królowie. Dlaczego wybór mój padł właśnie na kompozycję König der Welt zespołu Karat? Z kilku powodów. Po pierwsze bardzo bym chciał uczynić chociażby coś co mogę uczynić by zbliżyć do siebie te dwa sąsiednie narody polski i niemiecki, losy których tak mocno są związane przez naszą wspólną historię. I nie wszystko w naszych wspólnych dziejach było tragiczne i dramatyczne. Były i wspaniałe przykłady współdziałania naszych narodów, w tym na polu kultury, oświaty i nauki. I to, że właśnie w tej jednej z najważniejszych dla Polaków Świątyń znajdują się owoce pracy twórczej wybitnego niemieckiego malarza Dürera jest najlepsyzm dowodem do wyżej przeze mnie powiedzianego. Po drugie sama treść piosenki i jej nazwa jak najlepiej pasują do moich własnych refleksji co do tego kim są dla nas Polaków nasi dawni władcy. Właśnie, że królami świata, jak brzmi tytuł wybranej przeze mnie piosenki, ponieważ tyle oni zrobili dla całej kultury europejskiej, że całkowicie zasłużyli właśnie na takie refleksje... A drogim Rodakom na całym świecie i wszystkim sympatykom kultury polskiej niezależnie od przynależności narodowej życzę miłego oglądania niniejszej prezentacji i takiej miłości do wszystkiego co jest polskie, jaką ja mam w swoim sercu.

Sgrafitto on the frontage of Capuchin Monastery in Łomża (2003).
Some of her paintings can be found in private collections both in Poland and abroad.
'I've always been interested in portraiture. The very attempt to capture predominant traits of the portrayed person with just a few strokes of a brush has always attracted me. Portraying saints, angels or Jesus, however, posed a challenge to me as it also involves conveying subtle elements of divinity.'
'Apart from essential painterly qualities like colour, form or light what I find important is climate. In case of religious paintings it's the aura of divinity, if it comes to children's portraits it's joy, innocence or intimacy of maternity.'
The artist draws her inspirations from nature, Christian spirituality, western medieval painting as well as eastern iconographic tradition. She paints on canvas and wood panels using egg tempera, encaustic, oil and acrylic paints. Mrs. Szczecińska specializes in mural art making use of both old and new techniques e.g. fresco, sgrafitto, silicate mineral painting, mosaic, acrylic or decorative plaster.

SUMMARY
=======
Pope John Paul II (Latin: Ioannes Paulus II; Italian: Giovanni Paolo II; Polish: Jan Paweł II; born Karol Józef Wojtyła; [ˈkarɔl ˈjuzɛv vɔjˈtɨwa]; 18 May 1920 – 2 April 2005) served as Pope and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 1978 to 2005.
He was elected by the second Papal conclave of 1978, which was called after Pope John Paul I, who had been elected in August to succeed Pope Paul VI, died after thirty-three days.
Cardinal Wojtyła was elected on the third day of the conclave and adopted his predecessor's name in tribute to him. John Paul II is recognised as helping to end Communist rule in his native Poland and eventually all of Europe. John Paul II significantly improved the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion. He upheld the Church's teachings on such matters as artificial contraception and the ordination of women, but also supported the Church's Second Vatican Council and its reforms.
He was one of the most travelled world leaders in history, visiting 129 countries during his pontificate. As part of his special emphasis on the universal call to holiness, he beatified 1,340 people and canonised 483 saints, more than the combined tally of his predecessors during the preceding five centuries. By the time of his death, he had named most of the College of Cardinals, consecrated or co-consecrated a large number of the world's bishops, and ordained many priests. A key goal of John Paul's papacy was to transform and reposition the Catholic Church. His wish was to place his Church at the heart of a new religious alliance that would bring together Jews, Muslims and Christians in a great religious armada.John Paul II was the second longest-serving pope in modern history after Pope Pius IX, who served for nearly 32 years from 1846 to 1878. Born in Poland, John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope since the Dutch Pope Adrian VI, who served from 1522 to 1523. John Paul II's cause for canonisation commenced in 2005 one month after his death with the traditional five-year waiting period waived. On 19 December 2009, John Paul II was proclaimed Venerable by his successor Pope Benedict XVI and was beatified on 1 May 2011 (Divine Mercy Sunday) after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints attributed one miracle to his intercession, the healing of a French nun from Parkinson's disease. A second miracle attributed to John Paul II's intercession was approved on 2 July 2013, and confirmed by Pope Francis two days later (two miracles must be attributed to a person's intercession to be declared a saint). John Paul II was canonised on 27 April 2014 (again Divine Mercy Sunday), together with Pope John XXIII. On 11 September 2014, Pope Francis added these two optional memorials to the worldwide General Roman Calendar of saints, in response to worldwide requests. It is traditional to celebrate saints' feast days on the anniversary of their deaths, but that of John Paul II (22 October) is celebrated on the anniversary of his papal inauguration. Posthumously, he has been referred to by some Catholics as John Paul the Great, although the title has no official recognition.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Lviv (Ukrainian: Львів [lʲwiu̯] (listen); Old East Slavic: Львіхород; Polish: Lwów [lvuf] (listen); Russian: Львов, romanized: Lvov [lʲvof]; German: Lemberg; Latin: Leopolis; see also other names) is the largest city in western Ukraine and the seventh-largest city in the country overall, with a population of 724,713 as of January 2019. Lviv is one of the main cultural centres of Ukraine.
Named in honour of Leo, the eldest son of Daniel, King of Ruthenia, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia (also called the Kingdom of Ruthenia) from 1272 to 1349, when it was conquered by King Casimir III the Great who then became known as the King of Poland and Ruthenia. From 1434, it was the regional capital of the Ruthenian Voivodeship in the Kingdom of Poland. In 1772, after the First Partition of Poland, the city became the capital of the Habsburg Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. In 1918, for a short time, it was the capital of the West Ukrainian People's Republic. Between the wars, the city was the centre of the Lwów Voivodeship in the Second Polish Republic.
After the German-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, Lviv became part of the Soviet Union, and in 1944–46 there was a population exchange between Poland and Soviet Ukraine. In 1991, it became part of the independent nation of Ukraine.
Administratively, Lviv serves as the administrative centre of Lviv Oblast and has the status of city of oblast significance.
Lviv was the centre of the historical regions of Red Ruthenia and Galicia. The historical heart of the city, with its old buildings and cobblestone streets, survived Soviet and German occupations during World War II largely unscathed. The city has many industries and institutions of higher education such as Lviv University and Lviv Polytechnic. Lviv is also the home of many cultural institutions, including a philharmonic orchestra and the Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The histori ...
