10 Things to do in Poznań, Poland Travel Guide script:
Eager to explore Poznan, our first stop of the day was the Old Market Square, which is a sight to behold. As soon as we turned the street from our apartment, we were greeted with the Old Town Hall.
The top attraction here is a row of buildings known as the Merchant Houses. They stand shoulder to shoulder and are painted in different patterns, adding a bright splash of colour to the town.
The Royal Castle dates back to 1249, though if you think it looks rather new, that’s because it was mostly destroyed during WW2 and it had to be rebuilt. After paying for our tickets, we made a beeline straight for the tower, to enjoy some views of Poznan.
After visiting the castle, we did some wandering around the Old Town and ended up at the Former Jesuit College. This is where young people were educated in theology and philosophy.
Today the college houses the City Council, so we couldn’t really tour the place, but they do have a nice courtyard and a cafe for visitors.
Another thing to do in Poznan is visit Fara Poznanska, a beautiful Baroque church located right next to the Former Jesuit College. We arrived just as they were setting up for the weekly concert, so we sat down for a bit of music.
From there, we walked west of the Old Town, where things have more of a modern look. We saw the Fontana Wolnosh-chi Wolności, had a quick peek inside the Imperial Castle, and we also discovered that Polish people have a big love for ice cream.
We later googled Kolorowa and discovered that it’s the best ice cream shop in Poznan, so maybe we should’ve stood in line!
After visiting Cathedral Island, we went past Śródka, which is a really cool neighbourhood with lots of street art. We then had a little break by Lake Malta, which looked to be a popular weekend spot.
Another cool thing to do in Poznan is to visit KontenerArt, which is part urban beach, outdoor bar, art space, children’s playground, food cart central, and herb and spice garden. This was an unexpected find and it was really nice to see people of all ages enjoying this space.
On a rainy afternoon, we paid a quick visit to Poznan’s Archaeological Museum. Admittedly, it’s mostly geared towards children, but it was a fun way to stay dry.
And that’s a wrap for our quick travel guide to Poznan! We hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do around town on your visit. If there are any other things to do in Poznan that you think should be on this list, feel free to share those with fellow travellers. Happy travels and until next time!

Silipin natin ang isa sa pinakamatandang Simbahan sa Poland
Buhay Europa
The high altar was designed by Pompeo Ferrari. It features a painting showing bishop Stanislaus bringing back to life Piotrowin, painted in 1756 by Szymon Czechowicz. It is flanked by two huge sculptures - on the right that of St Stanislaus Kostka, on the left that of St Stanislaus the Bishop. The two large altars closing the transverse nave were modelled on the St Anthony Gonzaga altar designed by Andrea Pozzo from the Roman church of St Ignatius.
In the lower, side naves with cross vaulting there are 10 smaller altars. On one of them there is a Gothic statue of Lashed Jesus dating from around 1430, which was transferred here from the former collegiate church of St Mary Magdalene. 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.
A plaque from 1996 is devoted to the memory of Father Jakub Wujek (1541-97) - founder and the first rector of the Jesuit College in Poznań, author of the first translation of the Bible into the Polish language. In the chapel situated at the end of the west nave there is a replica (from 1952) of an icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, crowned with Papal crowns in 1961. It was the first coronation of a Virgin Mary image in Poland after WWII. Between the two world wars the extensive cellars under the church were used for storing barrels with wine, among other things.

December 2 Blessed Rafal Chylinski
(January 8, 1694 – December 2, 1741)
Born near Buk in the Poznan region of Poland, Melchior Chylinski showed early signs of religious devotion; family members nicknamed him “the little monk.” After completing his studies at the Jesuit college in Poznan, Melchior joined the cavalry and was promoted to officer rank within three years.
In 1715, against the urgings of his military comrades, Melchior joined the Conventual Franciscans in Krakow. Receiving the name Rafal, he was ordained two years later. After pastoral assignments in nine cities, he came to Lagiewniki, where he spent the last 13 years of his life, except for 20 months ministering to flood and epidemic victims in Warsaw. In all these places, Rafal was known for his simple and candid sermons, for his generosity, as well as for his ministry in the confessional. People of all levels of society were drawn to the self-sacrificing way he lived out his religious profession and priestly ministry.
Rafal played the harp, lute, and mandolin to accompany liturgical hymns. In Lagiewniki he distributed food, supplies, and clothing to the poor. After his death, the Conventual church in that city became a place of pilgrimage for people throughout Poland. He was beatified in Warsaw in 1991.
The sermons preached by Rafal were powerfully reinforced by the living sermon of his life. The Sacrament of Reconciliation can help us bring our daily choices into harmony with our words about Jesus’ influence in our lives.

How Do 1.2 Million People Celebrate The Epiphany in Poland? Have a Look - Perspectives Daily
As we embark on another year of bringing you the latest Catholic news and stories, we invite you to tell us what you think of our program.
During the show this week, you’ll notice this web address at the bottom of your screen. It’s a link to a quick survey that takes less than a minute to complete. Please take a moment to fill out the survey. It will help us to build our program around what you want to see: saltandlighttv.org/myperspectives.
Let’s begin in Rome with a quick summary of the Pope’s homily from St. Peter’s Basilica yesterday, where he celebrated Mass for the solemn feast of the Epiphany of the Lord.
To follow Jesus, the Pope said,one must set out like the Magi, leaving comfort behind, following the light and offering the Lord's gifts without expecting anything in return. In his homily, yesterday the Pope asked people to think about the Three Kings, and why, no one else seemed to see and follow the star to Bethlehem and he also asked them to think about what star they choose to follow in their lives. Following the star, the Pope said, requires the freeing oneself from useless burdens and unnecessary extras that only prove a hindrance, and to accept the unforeseen obstacles in the map of life. If we want to find Jesus, we have to overcome our fear of taking risks, our self-satisfaction and our indolent refusal to ask anything more of life.
And earlier today, the Pope met with the members of the diplomatic corps accredited to the Holy See, exchanging New Year's greetings. In his annual speech to diplomats, the Pope insisted respect for human rights must begin with respect for human life. I have for you a quick look at how that encounter went.
To celebrate the Feast day of the Epiphany, over 1.2 million people in Poland took part in the “March of the Three Kings” on Saturday. This March is one of the countries largest events that celebrates Poland's 100th anniversary of regained independence.
Under the theme, “God is for everyone”, people from over 660 cities and towns in Poland, participated in the event. This year, the Three Kings March was not only representative of three continents, but also of three generations: the young, which meets God, the family, and seniors. The biggest part of the March passed through the streets of Warsaw to Pilsudski Square, where the Kings bowed down and handed the gifts to the Infant Jesus at a live nativity scene organized by the Zagle School.
Here in Canada, the famous relic of St. Francis Xavier is in the country making a 14-city, cross-country tour until February 2nd. The hand that is said to have baptized over a 100,000 people is considered an incorrupt, first-class relic of one of the Catholic Church’s greatest missionaries and evangelists. The visit is organized by the Archdiocese of Ottawa, the Canadian Jesuits and a national university student movement, Catholic Christian Outreach.
One of the main organizers, Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa, reminds us that “Saint Francis Xavier is one of the most revered saints of all time. He was a man of extraordinary courage and faith who shared the Gospel message of Jesus with thousands across southeast Asia, Goa andIndia.
Permanently displayed at the Church of the Gesù in Rome, organizers believe this is the first time the relic has been on Canadian soil. His body, which is buried in Goa, India, as well as the relic of his arm are incorrupt, which means they have not experienced natural decay since his death in 1552.
The relic will travel across the country and to check to see if it will visit a parish near you, can visit the CCO website listed below.
That is all that for today. Join us again tomorrow when I bring you news and stories from the Perspective of a Catholic lens.

why study in University of Wroclaw
The University of Wrocław has a rich history of more than three centuries. Founded by Leopold I Habsburg the university evolved from a modest school run by Jesuits into one of the biggest academic institutions in Poland. At the beginning of the 19th century the university had five Faculties: philosophy, catholic theology, evangelical theology, law and medicine. Later it was expanded by numerous sections, laboratories and a natural museum, which exists until today. After the Second World War a group of Polish professors, formerly from Lvov, started teaching and research activities at the University of Wrocław. Initially they created the Faculties of law and administration, arts, natural sciences, agriculture, veterinary, medicine, mathematics, physics and chemistry. Some of these Faculties were soon transformed into other universities. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the University of Wrocław produced 9 Nobel Prize winners, such as Theodor Mommsen, Philipp Lenard, Eduard Buchner, Paul Ehrlich, Fritz Haber, Friedrich Bergius, Erwin Schrödinger, Otto Stern and Max Born.

POLAND - WikiVidi Documentary
Poland , officially the Republic of Poland , is a sovereign country in Central Europe. It is a unitary state divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312679 km2 with a mostly temperate climate. With a population of over 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest city is Warsaw. Other cities include Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin. The establishment of a Polish state can be traced back to 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of a territory roughly coextensive with that of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest and most populous countries of 16th and 17th century Europe with a uniquely liberal political system which declared Europe's fir...

Śladami Jezuitów w Poznaniu
Film nagrany z okazji obchodów 450 rocznicy przybycia pierwszych Jezuitów do Polski i 444-lecia rozpoczęcia przez nich pracy w Poznaniu.
TEDxKrakow - Richard Berkeley - Past matters
Richard Berkeley's work in Poland began in 1998 when he became a visiting lecturer at Warsaw's National Drama Academy. In 2000, he taught at the Chopin Music Academy in Warsaw, sang at the Opera Kameralna and co-founded the New Chamber Orchestra Foundation. At TEDxKraków, he's going to talk about another subject close to his heart: the preservation of the Polish country house. These buildings are probably our most obvious reminder of the past, of the people who came before us, their achievements and way of life, their genius. A house also reminds us, if we need to be reminded, of the temporary nature of our own existence. But it also serves to uplift and inspire, to bring joy to a colourless environment and it can even bring wealth and identity to a community.
Richard spoke at TEDxKraków, an independently organised TED event which took place on 20 October 2011 at the Manggha Centre for Japanese Art and Technology in Kraków, Poland. Our theme was The New Normal and we asked our speakers to tell us about what we might just have to get used to once the dust settles from the various ongoing geopolitical, financial and environmental crises.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations).

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

SUMMARY
=======
Education has been of prime interest to Poland's rulers since the early 12th century. The catalog of the library of the Cathedral Chapter in Kraków dating from 1110 shows that Polish scholars already then had access to western European literature. In 1364, King Kazimierz the Great founded the Cracow Academy, which would become one of the great universities of Europe. The Polish people have made considerable contributions in the fields of science, technology and mathematics. The list of famous scientists in Poland begins in earnest with the polymath, astronomer and mathematician Nicolaus Copernicus, who formulated the heliocentric theory and made an important contribution to the scientific revolution.
In 1773 King Stanisław August Poniatowski established the Commission of National Education, the world's first ministry of education.
After the third partition of Poland, in 1795, no Polish state existed. The 19th and 20th centuries saw many Polish scientists working abroad. One of them was Maria Skłodowska-Curie, a physicist and chemist living in France. Another noteworthy one was Ignacy Domeyko, a geologist and mineralogist who worked in Chile.
In the first half of the 20th century, Poland was a flourishing center of mathematics. Outstanding Polish mathematicians formed the Lwów School of Mathematics (with Stefan Banach, Hugo Steinhaus, Stanisław Ulam) and Warsaw School of Mathematics (with Alfred Tarski, Kazimierz Kuratowski, Wacław Sierpiński). The events of World War II pushed many of them into exile. Such was the case of Benoît Mandelbrot, whose family left Poland when he was still a child. An alumnus of the Warsaw School of Mathematics was Antoni Zygmund, one of the shapers of 20th-century mathematical analysis. According to NASA, Polish scientists were among the pioneers of rocketry.
Today Poland has over 100 institutions of post-secondary education — technical, medical, economic, as well as 500 universities — which are located in most major cities such as Gdańsk, Kraków, Lublin, Łódź, Poznań, Rzeszów and Warsaw. They employ over 61,000 scientists and scholars. Another 300 research and development institutes are home to some 10,000 researchers. There are, in addition, a number of smaller laboratories. All together, these institutions support some 91,000 scientists and scholars.

Gandolfini was best known for his role as Tony Soprano, an Italian American Mafia boss, in the HBO series The Sopranos.
His other notable roles included mob henchman Virgil in True Romance (1993), enforcer and stuntman Bear in Get Shorty (1995) and impulsive Wild Thing Carol in Where the Wild Things Are (2009). For his performance as Albert in Enough Said (2013),
Gandolfini was born in Westwood, New Jersey.[2] His mother, Santa (née Penna), was a high school lunch lady of Italian ancestry who was born in the United States and raised in Naples.[3][4] His father, James Joseph Gandolfini, Sr., was a native of Borgo Val di Taro who worked as a bricklayer and cement mason and later the head janitor at Paramus Catholic High School in New Jersey.[3][5][6] James Sr. earned a Purple Heart in World War II.[7] Gandolfini's parents were devout Roman Catholics and spoke Italian at home. Due to the influence of his parents, he developed a strong sense of Italian American identity and visited Italy regularly.[5][8] He had two sisters.[9][10]
Gandolfini grew up in Park Ridge, New Jersey and graduated from Park Ridge High School in 1979, where he played basketball, acted in school plays,[11] and was awarded the title Class Flirt in his senior yearbook. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication studies from Rutgers University in 1982, where he worked as a bouncer at an on-campus pub.[12] He also worked as a bartender and club manager in Manhattan prior to his acting career.[12] He was introduced to acting as a young man living in New York City, when he accompanied his friend Roger Bart to a Meisner technique acting class,[13] where he studied for two years under Kathryn Gately at The Gately Poole Conservatory.[14]
Gandolfini died at the age of 51 in Rome on June 19, 2013. He was expected to travel to Sicily a few days later to receive an award at the Taormina Film Fest. After he and his family had spent a day of sightseeing in sweltering heat, his 13-year-old son Michael discovered him unconscious at around 10 pm local time, on the bathroom floor at the Boscolo Exedra Hotel in the Piazza della Repubblica. He called reception, who in turn called emergency paramedics. Gandolfini reportedly arrived at the hospital at 10:40 pm and was pronounced dead at 11 pm.[29] An autopsy confirmed that he had died of a heart attack.
Pope Francis , 17 December 1936) is the 266th and current Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, a title he holds ex officio as Bishop of Rome, and Sovereign of the Vatican City.
He chose Francis as his papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and the first non-European pope since the Syrian Gregory III, who died in 741.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bergoglio worked briefly as a chemical technologist and nightclub bouncer before beginning seminary studies. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969, and from 1973 to 1979 was Argentina's provincial superior of the Society of Jesus. He was accused of handing two priests to the National Reorganization Process during the Dirty War, but the lawsuit was ultimately dismissed. He became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II.
Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on 28 February 2013, a papal conclave elected Bergoglio as his successor on 13 March.
