Warsaw, Poland, Feb 1, 2006 / 22:00 pm
“Be strong in faith,” is the theme chosen to accompany Pope Benedict XVI’s trip to Poland, planned for the end of May of 2006.
The Polish Bishop’s conference revealed the theme in Warsaw. The trip will start on May 25 in Warsaw and will end on May 28 in Krakow. The details of the trip will be released in the coming days, but it is already known that Pope Benedict will visit the shrine of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska in the south of the country as well as the monastery of Jasna Gora en Czestochowa.
Moreover, the Pope wished to visit Wadowice, the home town of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II. At the end of the trip, a visit to the extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau might be on the pope’s schedule.
