HELLO POZNAŃ! Canadians travel to Poland.
We spend our first full day in Poland exploring the beautiful city of Poznań. We start out at the Old Town Market Square seeing the fountains, Merchant’s Row and then Town Hall to see the the fightings goats at noon. We then make our way through Park Cytadela to visit old military remnants and view the sculpture called The Unrecognized. Next we head to Cathedral Island and to the area called Śródka for some Polish Dumplings called Pierogis. Finally we make our way back to Old Town by walking along the riverbank or the Warta River.

Poznań is a city on the Warta River in western Poland. It’s known for universities as well as its old town, with Renaissance-style buildings in Old Market Square.
Poznan was once the capital of Poland and is still the capital of the Wielkopolska region. Poznan lies midway between Berlin and Warsaw, which has helped make it an important town for centuries. Badly damaged in World War II, the city (especially its Old Town) has been beautifully restored. The huge Old Town Square (Stary Rynek) is one of Europe’s nicest, and is lined by fabulous historic attractions, restaurants and nightlife. The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is Poland’s oldest cathedral.
The most impressive structure on the Main Square has to be the deliciously elaborate Town Hall at its centre. First erected in the early 14th century, it truly flowered in mid-1500s when Italian architect Giovanni Quadro of Lugano added the Renaissance loggia, attic, and classical tower, earning the structure acclaim as “the most beautiful Renaissance town hall north of the Alps”.
Built in the same year, the Cathedral was repeatedly damaged by natural and building disasters and wars. Now it is a three-aisle Gothic basilica with pre-Romanesque and Romanesque relics, surrounded by a semicircle of chapels.
The Warta is the second longest river lying entirely in Poland; its basin of 21,084 square miles (54,607 square km) makes it the third largest in Poland. About half its length, from Kostrzyn to Konin, is navigable. The Warta drops 1,224 feet (373 m) from its headwaters to its mouth. The river drains a largely agricultural area of the Polish plain. Częstochowa, Konin, Poznań, and Gorzów Wielkopolski are major cities along its course.

Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul in Poznan
Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul in Poznan
A chapel made of Gold! | Poznan | Poland
This is the Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul in Poznań. It's a bit away from the Old Town district, but just about a 15-minute walk.
It is one of the oldest churches in Poland and the oldest Polish cathedral, dating from the 10th century. This was one of the main political centres in the early Polish state. Mieszko I was baptised in 966, possibly at Poznań – this is regarded as a key event in the Christianization of Poland and consolidation of the state. The cathedral was built around this time; it was raised to the status of a cathedral in 968 when the first missionary bishop, Bishop Jordan, came to Poland.
The first church survived for about seventy years. It was rebuilt in the Romanesque style, then the Gothic style. Due to many fires it was again and again rebuilt several times in different styles. The last of the great fires occurred in 1945, during the Battle of Poznan. The damage was serious enough that they decided to return to the Gothic style, using as a base medieval relics revealed by the fire. It was reopened in 1956.
The high altar is in late Gothic style dating from 1512. I really liked it, as unusually, the centre figures are all women.
The Golden Chapel holds the remains of Poland’s first rulers. This mausoleum was constructed in the 19th century. During Poland’s Partitions, which was a very challenging time for the Polish community, the Chapel reminded their compatriots of Poland’s charismatic rulers and the country’s past magnificence. You can't enter the Chapel itself, just view through gates. In order to turn the lights on for a minute, you have to put in a 5 Zloty coin into a machine by the gate. It's well worth that coin.

STORYLINE:
Pope John Paul II, the Polish pontiff who led the Roman Catholic Church for more than a quarter century and became history's most-travelled pope, died on Saturday in his Vatican apartment. He was 84.
Bells tolled at the Vatican and across Rome, and Vatican, Italian and European Union flags were being lowered to half-mast across the capital.
The crowd of 70 thousand people gathered in Saint Peter's Square listened to the bells in silence. Some cried, other kept praying their rosaries.
The pope died after suffering heart and kidney failure following two hospitalisations in as many months. Just a few hours earlier, the Vatican had said he was in very serious condition but had responded to members of the papal household.

STORYLINE
Several million people gathered in front of giant screens set up throughout Rome to watch the funeral service of Pope John Paul II on Friday and bid him an emotional final farewell.
Large video screens were erected through the Italian capital in piazzas, the enormous Circus Maximus, and outside basilicas and the Colosseum.
The pope's death on Saturday evinced a remarkable outpouring of affection around the world and brought an estimated four (m) million people to Rome to see the funeral.
At least 300-thousand pilgrims filled St Peter's Square and Via della Conciliazione - the road leading the up to it.
But for the millions who watched on the big screen, it was the occasion, and not the location, that dominated their thoughts.
Many sobbed quietly or sat watching in silent prayer throughout the solemn ceremony.
Polish crowds throughout the city brandished the red and white Polish flags of the late pope's native country.
Polish officials estimate up to two (m) million Poles have converged on Rome for the funeral - a sign of the country's love for the John Paul.

Laura and I join people across the earth in mourning the passing of Pope John Paul II. The Catholic church has lost its shepherd, the world has lost a champion of human freedom and a good and faithful servant of god has been called home. Pope John Paul II left the throne of Saint Peter in the same way he ascended to it: as a witness to the dignity of human life.
3. SOUNDBITE:(English) George W. Bush, US President:
Pope John Paul II was himself an inspiration to millions of Americans and to so many more throughout the world. We will always remember the humble, wise, and fearless priest who became one of history's great moral leaders. We are grateful to god for sending such a man, a son of Poland,who became the bishop of Rome and a hero for the ages.

13. Cutaway of media
STORYLINE:
President Bush led the United States in mourning Pope John Paul II on Saturday, saying the Pontiff's quarter century as head of the Roman Catholic Church and his lifetime of dedication to freedom and values made him a hero for the ages.
The Catholic Church has lost its shepherd. The world has lost a champion of human freedom, the president said in a brief televised statement from the White House.
Both he and first lady Laura Bush, who stood at his side, wore black suits and sombre expressions. A good and faithful servant has been called home, the president said.
Shortly after his remarks at the White House, the president went by motorcade to St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington for a memorial mass.
Bush was expected to travel to Rome for the funeral, but the White House held off making an official announcement of the delegation it would send out of respect for protocol. A White House press secretary said Bush aides expected to hear about funeral arrangements from the Vatican on Sunday and said it would be inappropriate to discuss the president's plans before then.
The president immediately ordered that US flags on all federal government buildings be flown at half-mast until the pope is buried.
Bush articulated the grief felt by the nation's 67 (m) million Catholics as well as the many outside the faith who revered the man for his long service to the church and the poor.
We will always remember the humble, wise and fearless priest who became one of history's great moral leaders, he said. We're grateful to God for sending such a man, a son of Poland who became the Bishop of Rome and hero for the ages, the president said.
Meanwhile in Washington's Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, officials lowered a drape and rang church bells for Pope John Paul II.
A wreath and drapes were also placed at Washington's Saint Matthew's Cathedral, where Archbishop Theodore McCarrick was expected to say the memorial mass. McCarrick also made a brief statement to the press.

katedra poznańska/Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul
One of the most beautiful churches in Poland | Poznan | Poland
This is St Stanislaus Church. It's in the Old Town district of Poznan, a street away from the Old Market square. Sometimes tourists miss it, because of the unassuming facade. However, inside it's magnificent.
The parish church under the invocation of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour and St Mary Magdalene is one of the most exquisite examples of Baroque architecture in Poland. It was built by the Jesuits. The work started in 1649 and was interrupted several times until it was finished over 50 years later. In recent years it has undergone general renovation works.
The organ was made in 1876 by the famous Friedrich Ladegast of Weissenfelds. The largest of the 2579 pipes are 6 metres long. The church often holds organ music concerts which are visited by people from all over the world.

Polish pilgrims make long journey by road to attend Vatican canonisation ceremony
Pilgrims from Pope John Paul II's hometown of Wadowice in Poland took a 24-hour journey across Europe in order to witness his canonisation ceremony at the Vatican on Sunday.
The pilgrims left Wadowice on a bus on Friday morning and arrived in Rome on Saturday afternoon.
The late Polish pontiff is to be canonised along with late Pope John XXIII on Sunday.
During the trip, the pilgrims sung religious songs, prayed, and watched a film about John Paul II's life.
Along the way, they made a stop in the Italian town of Assisi to visit Saint Francis' sanctuary and the basilica, before moving on to the small town of Sacrofano, where a pilgrim shelter is located.
From there, they walked 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) to reach a train station from where they carried on to finally reach Rome.
Their journey came to an end some kilometres (miles) later, at St Peter's Basilica.
One of the pilgrims, Maria Guzik, said: We are very happy, we come from the town where Pope John Paul was born.
Teresa Byrska, another one of the pilgrims said enthusiastically: I love you Rome, I love Vatican, I love the Pope.
One (m) million people are expected to flood into Rome for the event, according to the Italian Interior Ministry.

STORYLINE:
Poles in the southern Polish town of Krakow, where Pope John Paul II once served as bishop and cardinal, mourned his death on Saturday night.
The Wawel Castle's Zygmunt bell rang across the city to signal his passing.
Weeping mourners gathered beside the Bishop's Office in Krakow, where the pope once lived, and bowed their heads in prayer.
The pope is deeply loved in mainly Roman Catholic Poland, where his 26-year pontificate has served as a source of great national pride.
Most popes in recent centuries have been buried in the St Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.
John Paul's wishes have not been made public and many in Poland are speculating he may be laid to rest alongside Polish kings in Krakow's Wawel Cathedral.
Meanwhile, in the pope's hometown of Wadowice, people wept at the news that the pontiff had died.
Many of them learnt of his death at the end of a special Mass in the church where John Paul II worshipped as a boy.

Poznan Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul
Filmed with GoPro
Cathedral Island, Ostrow Tumski Poznan, Poland
This magnificent cathedral was originally built in the 10th century and included a ducal palace. Saint Peter became the patron of the church because, as the first cathedral in the country, it had the right to have the same patron as St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It's really an understated relic in Poznan.
