Travel.LovePoland December 2020
Dear Readers, As befits the winter issue of the magazine, we encourage you to get to know and visit various parts of Poland. We show you round the most famous places, such as Gdańsk or the Tatras (in Łukasz' beautiful photographs), but we also encourage you to get to know the less known ones, such as Tylicz or Ochodzita or the Herbst Museum in Łódź. As usual, we devote a lot of space to Polish nature. This time in two articles: Magda and Łukasz take you on the Biebrza, and Włodzimierz Stachoń invites you to get to know wild birds. There must be also something about Christmas traditions. As always, Kasia Skóra will tell about many of them – but she won't be the only one. Get to know some secrets of Polish Christmas cuisine, including those described by Magdalena Tomaszewska-Bolałek. And almost at the end, we have for you a beautiful, in our opinion, photo gallery by Kamila Rosińska - kept in a very festive mood. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Good New Year.

Hermitage St. brother Albert
Address: Droga Brata Alberta Str. 215, 34-500 Zakopane, Poland
SAINT BROTHER ALBERT
CHMIELOWSKI
The Painter Who Became an Advocate for the Poor.
Two small monasteries are located in the mountain forests in the vicinity of
Kuźnice of the Albertine Sisters and the Albertine Brothers. Both were
established thanks to Brother Albert – Adam Chmielowski. First, the Albertine
Brothers’ Monastery (on the left side of the road and trail from Kuźnice to
Kalatówki), with a wooden hermitage of St. Albert, were erected in the end of
the 19th century. In 1902 the Albertine monks moved to a new building
constructed nearby, and they gave the old monastery to the Albertine Sisters.
Karol Wojtyła often visited the heritage, since he highly admired Adam
Chmielowski’s work. Wojtyła's drama, Our God’s Brother, was based on Brother
Albert’s life. As Pope John Paul II, he initially conducted Chmielowski's
beatification and then canonized Brother Albert. He visited Saint Albert's
Tatra hermitage for the last time in 1997.
True cultural connection is the Holy Grail for brands if they want to create
an enduring emotional relationship with people.
