Travel Love Poland Magazine – March 2021
Dear Readers, And so the spring has come again. Disliked by some as in Poland it tends to be often cool till May while adored by the others. However, before we move on to more spring topics, we invite you to read the conversation with probably the most famous Slav and Slavic warrior in Poland, i.e. with Igor Górewicz. It is a fascinating journey into the past, and since Igor's knowledge is immense, his stories will be extremely interesting, not only for history lovers. As usual, the whole is illustrated by already well-known Marek Kalisiński. From more spring themes, this time we recommend trips to Roztocze and cycling adventures in southern Poland. We especially want to draw your attention to the photographs by Marcin Gądek in the article "Churches from heaven". As Marcin is also a priest, his stories and photographs have an additional, slightly deeper dimension. Also, get to know the city that we haven't presented yet – that is Opole. Perhaps slightly off the beaten track of the most frequent hikes, it will be an interesting proposition for music lovers. Opole is called the capital of Polish song. There will be, as usual at this time of the year, Easter accents, both culinary (with a recipe for Sękacz) and visual – we are presenting once again the photographs by Kamila Rosińska - as well as her two new stories for children.

Greek-catholic Church
of the Protection
of the Mother of God,
currently a subsidiary
Roman Catholic church
of the parish in Łabowa
Formed Greek-Catholic Church of the Protection
of the Mother of God in Łabowa was build in
1784.
The church was entered on the list of monuments
in 1964.
The church funded by the Lubomirski family was
built of stone in 1784. After the displacement of
the Lemko people in 1945 and 1947, it stood
unused and fell into disrepair. Renovated in 1992
and since that year it serves as the Roman
Catholic branch church of the parish in Łabowa.
The building represents a type of a brick church
with a massive tower in the west elevation. It is
characterized by great architectural diversity in
terms of proportions and sizes, baroque towers in
the form of helmets on the roof of the temple, or
the tower's semicircular cornice on the clock face.
It became a model of solutions adopted in later
wooden churches. A sacristy was added to the
short chancel with a semicircular ending from the
north. The large nave has a pair of semicircular
transept chapels. The tower is topped with a
spherical cupola with a lantern, the saddle roof
and turrets are covered with sheet metal.
Inside, there is a figural and ornamental
polychrome in the tradition of Ruthenian painting
by W. Kryczewski, made in 1944. The Classicist
brick main altar, iconostasis and a music choir with
a baluster railing come from the mid-nineteenth
century.The church is surrounded by a stone wall
with a 19th century gate.
