...Church has been planning for a decade to solemnly celebrate the nation's conversion to Christendom 1,000 years ago this year. Religious ceremonies are scheduled for many parts of the country, but the highlight will come May 3, the Polish national holiday, when thousands of Poles will journey to the Jasna Gora monastery in Czestochowa, home of the nationally cherished "Black Madonna."
