It is in a beautiful chapel and kept covered most of the time....The priests pull back the huge golden door that covers it occasionally and I had the honor of viewing it when I was there. My family is from Poland and that was truly a wonderful and spiritual moment that I will never forget! The painting has a very special story behind it and that it is actually here today is a miracle!; 3 January 2011 at 05:35
