DOLISTOWO STARE, GM. JAŚWIŁY, POW. MONIECKI

In 1884, on a stone located in a meadow near the village - the so-called "Bocianek". - to three residents of the village of Dolistowo: Franciszka Łuszcz, Salomea Chodorowska and Maria Krysztopa, the figure of the Virgin Mary appeared to them. The tangible proof was to be the footprints visible on the surface of the boulder. According to local tradition, "imprints" of two feet were visible in the stone, one very clear and deep, with a length of 8 cm, the other trace was shallower. The event was given the name of the miracle "on Bocianek". A wooden cross was placed next to the boulder. In 1947, from the contributions of the villagers, a chapel was founded in which the "miracle stone" was used as an altar. In 1984, a well was built at the "miracle site", the water from which is said to have miraculous properties.
