John, King of Denmark
John (Danish and Norwegian: Hans; Swedish: Johan; né Johannes) (2 February 1455 – 20 February 1513) was a Scandinavian monarch under the Kalmar Union. He was King of Denmark (1481–1513), Norway (1483–1513) and as John II (Swedish: Johan II) Sweden (1497–1501). From 1482 to 1513, he was concurrently Duke of Schleswig and Holstein in joint rule with his brother Frederick.
The three most important political goals of King John were the restoration of the Kalmar Union, reduction of the dominance of the Hanseatic League, and the building of a strong Danish royal power.

John I (bishop of Wrocław)
John I, Bishop of Wrocław was an early Bishop of Wrocław. Very little is known of him except his office was from 1063 till his death in 1072. The historical records from his time in office are very sparse. Poland had been ravaged by a pagan uprising that left diocese of Wroclaw, founded a generation earlier, in a precarious condition. He spent most of his bishopric rebuilding the church. It is probable that he was the bishop who consecrated the cathedral built by Casimir the Restorer.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site.
The first church at the location of the present cathedral was built under Přemyslid rule in the mid 10th century, a fieldstone building with one nave about 25m in length, including a distinctive transept and an apse. After the Polish conquest of Silesia and the founding of the Wrocław diocese under the Piast duke Bolesław I Chrobry about 1000, this Bohemian church was replaced by a larger basilical structure with three naves, a crypt, and towers on its eastern side. The first cathedral was however soon destroyed, probably by the invading troops of Duke Bretislaus of Bohemia around 1039. A larger, Romanesque-style church was soon built in its place in the times of Duke Casimir I, and expanded similar to Płock Cathedral on the behest of Bishop Walter of Malonne in 1158.
After the end of the Mongol invasion, the church was again largely rebuilt in the present-day Brick Gothic style. It was the first building of the city to be made of brick when construction of the new choir and ambulatory started in 1244. The nave with sacristy and the basements of the prominent western steeples were added under Bishop Nanker until 1341.
On June 19, 1540, a fire destroyed the roof, which was restored 16 years later in Renaissance style. Another fire on June 9, 1759, burnt the towers, roof, sacristy, and quire. The damage was slowly repaired during the following 150 years. Between 1873-75, Karl Lüdecke rebuilt the interior and western side in neogothic style. Further work was done at the beginning of the 20th century by Hugo Hartung, especially on the towers ruined during the 1759 fire.
The cathedral was severely damaged (about 70% of the building) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991.
The cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in Poland, built in 1913 by E.F. Walcker & Sons of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, for the Centennial Hall - formerly the largest organ in the world.
The Feast of Corpus Christi (Boże Ciało in Polish) is a Christian liturgical solemnity celebrating the Real Presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the elements of the Eucharist; it is observed by the Roman Catholic Church, in addition to certain Western Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglican churches. Two months earlier, the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper is observed on Maundy Thursday in a sombre atmosphere leading to Good Friday. The liturgy on that day also commemorates Christ's washing of the disciples' feet, the institution of the priesthood, and the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.
The feast is liturgically celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday or, "where the Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is not a holy day of obligation, it is assigned to the Sunday after the Most Holy Trinity as its proper day".
At the end of Holy Mass, there is often a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, generally displayed in a monstrance. The procession is followed by the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A notable Eucharistic procession is that presided over by the Pope each year in Rome, where it begins at the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran and passes to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, where it concludes with the aforementioned Benediction. Corpus Christi wreaths, which are made of flowers, are hung on the doors and windows of the Christian faithful, in addition to being erected in gardens and fields.

Chapels
Behind the choir are three chapels:
Chapel of St. Elizabeth in the south was built 1682-1700 as the mausoleum of Bishop Frederick of Hesse-Darmstadt. The chapel was dedicated to St. Elizabeth of Hungary, whose cult had been popular in the city since the Middle Ages. It is a fine example of baroque architecture and forms the counterpoint of the Elector's Chapel. The design was probably the work of Giacome Schianzi, who is also credited with the paintings in the dome, which, along with wall paintings by Andreas Kowalski, show the death, burial, and heavenly glory of St. Elizabeth. The statue of St. Elizabeth was created by Ercole Ferrata, a student of Bernini's. Facing the altar on the other side of the chapel is the cardinal's tomb, the work of Domenico Guidi, another of Bernini's pupils. It depicts the kneeling cardinal surrounded by allegories of Truth and Eternity. Above the door to the church is a bust of the cardinal executed by the workshop of Bernini.
The Gothic Marian Chapel directly behind the choir was built by the architect Peschel under the orders of Bishop Przecław of Pogorzela from 1354-1365. Apart from the tomb of its founder it is also contains the tomb of Bishop Johann IV Roth, the work of Peter Fischer the Elder of Nuremberg. A famous story from World War II concerned a famously beautiful marble statue of the Virgin and Child, created by Carl Johann Steinhäuser in 1854, that was kept in the chapel. When the Russians bombed the cathedral, the flames miraculously stopped in front of the fallen statue, preserving the three back chapels from destruction. Despite the fall, bombing, and general destruction, the statue remained unharmed.
The northern Baroque Elector's Chapel, or the Chapel of Corpus Christi, was built from 1716-1724 as the mausoleum of bishop Count Palatine Francis Louis of Neuburg. Francis Louis was also bishop of Trier and Magdeburg, making him one of the electors eligible to choose the Holy Roman Emperor, hence the name of the chapel. The designer was the Viennese architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The decorative paintings were the work of Carlo Carlone and the sculptures that of Ferdinand Brokoff.

(1 Jun 1997) Natural Sound
Pope John Paul the Second started an 11-day journey to his native Poland on Saturday with a visit to the city of Wroclaw.
On Sunday half a (m) million people are expected to visit the city to try to get a glimpse of the pontiff when he says mass at the close of an Eucharistic Congress.
A homecoming for Pope John Paul the Second.
The pontiff arrived in Warsaw on Saturday to begin his seventh visit to his native land as pope.
He then flew to Wroclaw where he made his first stop at the Gothic twin-spired St. John the Baptist Cathedral.
Inside the cathedral, where Poland's 115 bishops were assembled, delighted nuns reached out to touch John Paul as he walked down the centre aisle.
The pontiff then visited Wroclaw Town Hall where, watched, by Polish President Alexander Kwasniewski, he signed his name to loud applause.
The pope continued on to the International Eucharistic Congress, which has been in session all week.
The Congress has brought together all Christian denominations and the Pope's presence there was greeted with a standing ovation.
On Sunday, he'll say mass at the Congress' close.

(1 Jun 1997) Natural Sound
Pope John Paul the Second started an 11-day journey to his native Poland on Saturday with a visit to the city of Wroclaw.
On Sunday half a (m) million people are expected to visit the city to try to get a glimpse of the pontiff when he says mass at the close of an Eucharistic Congress.
A homecoming for Pope John Paul the Second.
The pontiff arrived in Warsaw on Saturday to begin his seventh visit to his native land as pope.
He then flew to Wroclaw where he made his first stop at the Gothic twin-spired St. John the Baptist Cathedral.
Inside the cathedral, where Poland's 115 bishops were assembled, delighted nuns reached out to touch John Paul as he walked down the centre aisle.
The pontiff then visited Wroclaw Town Hall where, watched, by Polish President Alexander Kwasniewski, he signed his name to loud applause.
The pope continued on to the International Eucharistic Congress, which has been in session all week.
The Congress has brought together all Christian denominations and the Pope's presence there was greeted with a standing ovation.
On Sunday, he'll say mass at the Congress' close.
Church officials say they expect half a (m) million people to visit the city to try and get a glimpse of him.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site.
A first church at the location of the present cathedral was built under Přemyslid rule in the mid 10th century, a fieldstone building with one nave about 25 m (82 ft) in length, including a distinctive transept and an apse. After the Polish conquest of Silesia and the founding of the Wrocław diocese under the Piast duke Bolesław I Chrobry about 1000, this Bohemian church was replaced by a larger basilical structure with three naves, a crypt, and towers on its eastern side. The first cathedral was however soon destroyed, probably by the invading troops of Duke Bretislaus of Bohemia around 1039. A larger, Romanesque-style church was soon built in its place in the times of Duke Casimir I, and expanded similar to Płock Cathedral on the behest of Bishop Walter of Malonne in 1158.
After the end of the Mongol invasion, the church was again largely rebuilt in the present-day Brick Gothic style. It was the first building of the city to be made of brick when construction of the new choir and ambulatory started in 1244. The nave with sacristy and the basements of the prominent western steeples were added under Bishop Nanker until 1341.
On June 19, 1540, a fire destroyed the roof, which was restored 16 years later in Renaissance style. Another fire on June 9, 1759, burnt the towers, roof, sacristy, and quire. The damage was slowly repaired during the following 150 years. Between 1873-75, Karl Lüdecke rebuilt the interior and western side in neogothic style. Further work was done at the beginning of the 20th century by Hugo Hartung, especially on the towers ruined during the 1759 fire.
The cathedral was severely damaged (about 70% of the building) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991.
The cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in Poland, built in 1913 by E.F. Walcker & Sons of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, for the Centennial Hall — formerly the largest organ in the world.
Chapels
Behind the choir are three chapels:
Chapel of St. Elizabeth in the south was built 1682-1700 as the mausoleum of Bishop Frederick of Hesse-Darmstadt. The chapel was dedicated to St. Elizabeth of Hungary, whose cult had been popular in the city since the Middle Ages. It is a fine example of baroque architecture and forms the counterpoint of the Elector's Chapel. The design was probably the work of Giacome Schianzi, who is also credited with the paintings in the dome, which, along with wall paintings by Andreas Kowalski, show the death, burial, and heavenly glory of St. Elizabeth. The statue of St. Elizabeth was created by Ercole Ferrata, a student of Bernini's. Facing the altar on the other side of the chapel is the cardinal's tomb, the work of Domenico Guidi, another of Bernini's pupils. It depicts the kneeling cardinal surrounded by allegories of Truth and Eternity. Above the door to the church is a bust of the cardinal executed by the workshop of Bernini.
The Gothic Marian Chapel directly behind the choir was built by the architect Peschel under the orders of Bishop Przecław of Pogorzela from 1354-1365. Apart from the tomb of its founder it is also contains the tomb of Bishop Johann IV Roth, the work of Peter Fischer the Elder of Nuremberg. A famous story from World War II concerned a famously beautiful marble statue of the Virgin and Child, created by Carl Johann Steinhäuser in 1854, that was kept in the chapel. When the Russians bombed the cathedral, the flames miraculously stopped in front of the fallen statue, preserving the three back chapels from destruction. Despite the fall, bombing, and general destruction, the statue remained unharmed.
The northern Baroque Elector's Chapel, or the Chapel of Corpus Christi, was built from 1716-1724 as the mausoleum of bishop Count Palatine Francis Louis of Neuburg. Francis Louis was also bishop of Trier and Magdeburg, making him one of the electors eligible to choose the Holy Roman Emperor, hence the name of the chapel. The designer was the Viennese architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The decorative paintings were the work of Carlo Carlone and the sculptures that of Ferdinand Brokoff.

On Sunday half a (m) million people are expected to visit the city to try to get a glimpse of the pontiff when he says mass at the close of a Eucharistic Congress.
A homecoming for Pope John Paul the Second.
The papal plane touched down in Warsaw on Saturday bringing the pontiff for his seventh visit to his native land as pope.
Hundreds of flag-waving well-wishers turned out to welcome the 77-year-old Roman Catholic leader.
Looking frail, John Paul emerged under a shower of light rain to be greeted by religious and political dignitaries.
The pontiff told the crowd that Poland can play an important role in the family of European nations.
Poland has been pushing hard for quick acceptance into NATO and the European Union.
John Paul said although he's now living far away in Italy he never ceases to feel like a child of Poland.
And he joked about the cold drizzle that greeted him, calling it "true Polish weather."
Crowds numbering in the tens of thousands lined the 7-mile (11-kilometre) route from the airport to the Gothic twin-spired St. John the Baptist Cathedral, John Paul's first stop.
Inside the cathedral, where Poland's 115 bishops were assembled, delighted nuns reached out to touch John Paul as he walked down the centre aisle.
The pontiff then visited Wroclaw Town Hall where, watched, by President Kwasniewski, he signed his name to loud applause.

The trip will be one of the longest tours of his 19-year papacy; the pope plans to visit 12 cities in 11 days.
The Polish trip also takes in the cities of Pozan and Krakow.
The trip also will include nostalgia.
The pope will visit his parents' tomb, the Tatra mountains where he used to ski and the school where he secretly studied theology during the Nazi occupation.

(8 Jun 1997) Natural Sound
Pope John Paul II continued his eleven-day tour of Poland on Sunday.
The Pontiff went on to the Blonie (pronounced Bwohneeyeh) in Krakow to give a Mass, during which he'll canonize 14th century Polish Queen Hedwig.
Earlier he had met Polish Prime Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz.
Huge crowds were gathered for the Pope's arrival at the Blonie.
As usual, he travelled through the flag-waving masses in his trademark Pope-mobile.
One (m) million pilgrims were expected to attend the open-air mass to be held there.
During the celebrations the Pope is to canonise Queen Jadwiga of Poland.
The visit to the city of Krakow is part of an eleven-day tour of his native Poland, and has an important place in the Pope's heart.
It's here that he was educated, ordained as a priest and eventually became a cardinal.
It has been nearly 20 years since Pope left his homeland to become the leader of the world's Catholics.
Earlier on Sunday the Pope met Polish Prime Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz.
The 15 minute meeting took place at the Archbishop's Palace, but no details have been given as to what was discussed.
Later in the day the Pope will attend the 600 year anniversary of Jagiellonian University's theology institute.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site. A first church at the location of the present cathedral was built under Přemyslid rule in the mid 10th century, a fieldstone building with one nave about 25 m (82 ft) in length, including a distinctive transept and an apse. After the Polish conquest of Silesia and the founding of the Wrocław diocese under the Piast duke Bolesław I Chrobry about 1000, this Bohemian church was replaced by a larger basilical structure with three naves, a crypt, and towers on its eastern side. The first cathedral was however soon destroyed, probably by the invading troops of Duke Bretislaus of Bohemia around 1039. A larger, Romanesque-style church was soon built in its place in the times of Duke Casimir I, and expanded similar to Płock Cathedral on the behest of Bishop Walter of Malonne in 1158. After the end of the Mongol invasion, the church was again largely rebuilt in the present-day Brick Gothic style. It was the first building of the city to be made of brick when construction of the new choir and ambulatory started in 1244. The nave with sacristy and the basements of the prominent western steeples were added under Bishop Nanker until 1341. On June 19, 1540, a fire destroyed the roof, which was restored 16 years later in Renaissance style. Another fire on June 9, 1759, burnt the towers, roof, sacristy, and quire. The damage was slowly repaired during the following 150 years. In the 19th century, Karl Lüdecke rebuilt the interior and western side in neogothic style. Further work was done at the beginning of the 20th century by Hugo Hartung, especially on the towers ruined during the 1759 fire. The cathedral was almost entirely destroyed (about 70% of the construction) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991. The cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in Poland built in 1913 by Walcker Orgelbau for the Centennial Hall, formerly the largest organ in the world. The current cathedral is a three-nave Gothic oriented basilica surrounded by an ambulatory. The cathedral has three entrances: the main western portal and two later entrances from the north and south. Chapel of St. Elizabeth in the south was built 1682-1700 as the mausoleum of Bishop Frederick of Hesse-Darmstadt. The chapel was dedicated to St. Elizabeth of Hungary, whose cult had been popular in the city since the Middle Ages. It is a fine example of baroque architecture and forms the counterpoint of the Elector's Chapel. The design was probably the work of Giacome Schianzi, who is also credited with the paintings in the dome, which, along with wall paintings by Andreas Kowalski, show the death, burial, and heavenly glory of St. Elizabeth. The statue of St. Elizabeth was created by Ercole Ferrata, a student of Bernini's. Facing the altar on the other side of the chapel is the cardinal's tomb, the work of Domenico Guidi, another of Bernini's pupils. It depicts the kneeling cardinal surrounded by allegories of Truth and Eternity. Above the door to the church is a bust of the cardinal executed by the workshop of Bernini. The Gothic Marian Chapel directly behind the choir was built by the architect Peschel under the orders of Bishop Preczlaw of Pogarell from 1354-1365. Apart from the tomb of its founder it it also contains the tomb of Bishop Johann IV Roth, the work of Peter Fischer the Elder. A famous story from WWII concerned a famously beautiful marble statue of the Virgin and Child, created by Carl Johann Steinhäuser in 1854, that was kept in the chapel. When the Russians bombed the cathedral, the flames miraculously stopped in front of the fallen statue, preserving the three back chapels from destruction. Despite the fall, bombing, and general destruction, the statue remained unharmed. The northern Baroque Elector's Chapel, or the Chapel of Corpus Christi, was built from 1716-1724 as the mausoleum of bishop Count Palatine Francis Louis of Neuburg. Francis Louis was also bishop of Trier and Magdeburg, making him one of the electors eligible to choose the German emperor, hence the name of the chapel. The designer was the Viennese architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The decorative paintings were the work of Carlo Carlone and the sculptures that of Ferdinand Brokoff.

The cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in Poland, built in 1913 by E.F. Walcker & Sons of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, for the Centennial Hall - formerly the largest organ in the world.
The Feast of Corpus Christi (Boże Ciało in Polish) is a Christian liturgical solemnity celebrating the Real Presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the elements of the Eucharist; it is observed by the Roman Catholic Church, in addition to certain Western Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglican churches. Two months earlier, the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper is observed on Maundy Thursday in a sombre atmosphere leading to Good Friday. The liturgy on that day also commemorates Christ's washing of the disciples' feet, the institution of the priesthood, and the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.
The feast is liturgically celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday or, "where the Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is not a holy day of obligation, it is assigned to the Sunday after the Most Holy Trinity as its proper day".
At the end of Holy Mass, there is often a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, generally displayed in a monstrance. The procession is followed by the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A notable Eucharistic procession is that presided over by the Pope each year in Rome, where it begins at the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran and passes to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, where it concludes with the aforementioned Benediction. Corpus Christi wreaths, which are made of flowers, are hung on the doors and windows of the Christian faithful, in addition to being erected in gardens and fields.

(1 Jun 1997) Natural Sound
Pope John Paul the Second started an 11-day journey to his native Poland on Saturday with a visit to the city of Wroclaw.
On Sunday half a (m) million people are expected to visit the city to try to get a glimpse of the pontiff when he says mass at the close of an Eucharistic Congress.
A homecoming for Pope John Paul the Second.
The pontiff arrived in Warsaw on Saturday to begin his seventh visit to his native land as pope.
He then flew to Wroclaw where he made his first stop at the Gothic twin-spired St. John the Baptist Cathedral.
Inside the cathedral, where Poland's 115 bishops were assembled, delighted nuns reached out to touch John Paul as he walked down the centre aisle.
The pontiff then visited Wroclaw Town Hall where, watched, by Polish President Alexander Kwasniewski, he signed his name to loud applause.
The pope continued on to the International Eucharistic Congress, which has been in session all week.
The Congress has brought together all Christian denominations and the Pope's presence there was greeted with a standing ovation.
On Sunday, he'll say mass at the Congress' close.
Church officials say they expect half a (m) million people to visit the city to try and get a glimpse of him.
The trip will be one of the longest tours of his 19-year papacy; the pope plans to visit 12 cities in 11 days, including Poznan and Krakow.
But the Polish trip also takes in some nostalgia.
The pope will visit his parents' tomb, the Tatra mountains where he used to ski and the school where he secretly studied theology during the Nazi occupation.
John Paul said although he's now living far away in Italy he never ceases to feel like a child of Poland.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site.
A first church at the location of the present cathedral was built under Přemyslid rule in the mid 10th century, a fieldstone building with one nave about 25 m (82 ft) in length, including a distinctive transept and an apse. After the Polish conquest of Silesia and the founding of the Wrocław diocese under the Piast duke Bolesław I Chrobry about 1000, this Bohemian church was replaced by a larger basilical structure with three naves, a crypt, and towers on its eastern side. The first cathedral was however soon destroyed, probably by the invading troops of Duke Bretislaus of Bohemia around 1039. A larger, Romanesque-style church was soon built in its place in the times of Duke Casimir I, and expanded similar to Płock Cathedral on the behest of Bishop Walter of Malonne in 1158.
After the end of the Mongol invasion, the church was again largely rebuilt in the present-day Brick Gothic style. It was the first building of the city to be made of brick when construction of the new choir and ambulatory started in 1244. The nave with sacristy and the basements of the prominent western steeples were added under Bishop Nanker until 1341.
On June 19, 1540, a fire destroyed the roof, which was restored 16 years later in Renaissance style. Another fire on June 9, 1759, burnt the towers, roof, sacristy, and quire. The damage was slowly repaired during the following 150 years. Between 1873-75, Karl Lüdecke rebuilt the interior and western side in neogothic style. Further work was done at the beginning of the 20th century by Hugo Hartung, especially on the towers ruined during the 1759 fire.
The cathedral was severely damaged (about 70% of the building) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991.
The cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in Poland, built in 1913 by E.F. Walcker & Sons of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, for the Centennial Hall — formerly the largest organ in the world.
Chapels
Behind the choir are three chapels:
Chapel of St. Elizabeth in the south was built 1682-1700 as the mausoleum of Bishop Frederick of Hesse-Darmstadt. The chapel was dedicated to St. Elizabeth of Hungary, whose cult had been popular in the city since the Middle Ages. It is a fine example of baroque architecture and forms the counterpoint of the Elector's Chapel. The design was probably the work of Giacome Schianzi, who is also credited with the paintings in the dome, which, along with wall paintings by Andreas Kowalski, show the death, burial, and heavenly glory of St. Elizabeth. The statue of St. Elizabeth was created by Ercole Ferrata, a student of Bernini's. Facing the altar on the other side of the chapel is the cardinal's tomb, the work of Domenico Guidi, another of Bernini's pupils. It depicts the kneeling cardinal surrounded by allegories of Truth and Eternity. Above the door to the church is a bust of the cardinal executed by the workshop of Bernini.
The Gothic Marian Chapel directly behind the choir was built by the architect Peschel under the orders of Bishop Przecław of Pogorzela from 1354-1365. Apart from the tomb of its founder it is also contains the tomb of Bishop Johann IV Roth, the work of Peter Fischer the Elder of Nuremberg. A famous story from World War II concerned a famously beautiful marble statue of the Virgin and Child, created by Carl Johann Steinhäuser in 1854, that was kept in the chapel. When the Russians bombed the cathedral, the flames miraculously stopped in front of the fallen statue, preserving the three back chapels from destruction. Despite the fall, bombing, and general destruction, the statue remained unharmed.
The northern Baroque Elector's Chapel, or the Chapel of Corpus Christi, was built from 1716-1724 as the mausoleum of bishop Count Palatine Francis Louis of Neuburg. Francis Louis was also bishop of Trier and Magdeburg, making him one of the electors eligible to choose the Holy Roman Emperor, hence the name of the chapel. The designer was the Viennese architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The decorative paintings were the work of Carlo Carlone and the sculptures that of Ferdinand Brokoff.

(31 May 1997) Natural Sound
Pope John Paul the Second started an 11-day visit to his native Poland on Saturday with a visit to the southwestern city of Wroclaw.
On Sunday half a (m) million people are expected to visit the city to try to get a glimpse of the pontiff when he says mass at the close of a Eucharistic Congress.
A homecoming for Pope John Paul the Second.
The papal plane touched down in Warsaw on Saturday bringing the pontiff for his seventh visit to his native land as pope.
Hundreds of flag-waving well-wishers turned out to welcome the 77-year-old Roman Catholic leader.
Looking frail, John Paul emerged under a shower of light rain to be greeted by religious and political dignitaries.
The pontiff told the crowd that Poland can play an important role in the family of European nations.
Poland has been pushing hard for quick acceptance into NATO and the European Union.
John Paul said although he's now living far away in Italy he never ceases to feel like a child of Poland.
And he joked about the cold drizzle that greeted him, calling it "true Polish weather."
Crowds numbering in the tens of thousands lined the 7-mile (11-kilometre) route from the airport to the Gothic twin-spired St. John the Baptist Cathedral, John Paul's first stop.
Inside the cathedral, where Poland's 115 bishops were assembled, delighted nuns reached out to touch John Paul as he walked down the centre aisle.
The pontiff then visited Wroclaw Town Hall where, watched, by President Kwasniewski, he signed his name to loud applause.
The pope continued on to the International Eucharistic Congress, which has been in session all week.
The Congress has brought together all Christian denominations and the Pope's presence there was greeted with a standing ovation.
On Sunday, he'll say mass at the Congress' close.
Church officials say they expect half a (m) million people to visit the city to try to get a glimpse of him.
The trip will be one of the longest tours of his 19-year papacy; the pope plans to visit 12 cities in 11 days.
The Polish trip also takes in the cities of Pozan and Krakow.
The trip also will include nostalgia.
The pope will visit his parents' tomb, the Tatra mountains where he used to ski and the school where he secretly studied theology during the Nazi occupation.

Kościół świętego Jana Ewangelisty to rzymskokatolicki obronny kościół parafialny należący do dekanatu Paczków diecezji opolskiej.Budowa świątyni rozpoczęła się w 1350 roku i trwała około 30 lat, a jej fundatorem był biskup wrocławski Przecław z Pogorzeli. Obecny kształt budowli to efekt przebudów w stylu renesansowym, barokowym i neogotyckim. W XV wieku do prezbiterium od strony południowej została dobudowana dwuprzęsłowa kaplica pod wezwaniem Najświętszej Marii Panny, w której znajduje się jedyny w Europie Środkowej ołtarz wyrzeźbiony z jednego kawałka piaskowca. Druga kaplica została wybudowana w stylu barokowym w 1701 roku po epidemii, jako wotum dla św. Rocha. Wieża miała po wybudowaniu w 1389 roku 120 m, aktualnie są to 64 metry.W XVI wieku,w obawie przed najazdami Turków, świątynia została przebudowana i ufortyfikowana, tym samym zaczęła spełniać funkcje obronne – dachy zostały przekształcone i zostały dobudowane mury tarczowe zwieńczone attyką. W południowej nawie została ustawiona okrągła kamienna studnia, jedyna studnia w Europie znajdująca się wewnątrz kościoła, która w XIX wieku otrzymała żelazną nadbudowę.

The church belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Opole.The beginning of the church's construction began in the year 1350 and lasted around 30 years. The shrine was funded by Bishop of Wrocław Preczlaw of Pogarell, who administered between 1341 and 1376. The present form of the church is in the Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-Gothic architectural styles. In the fifteenth-century, from the chancel's southern side, there was built a spanning chapel, dedicated to Holy Virgin Mary. The tower, partially deconstructed in 1429, was rebuilt in 1462. It was then that the upper condignation was constructed

(8 Jun 1997) Natural Sound
Pope John Paul II continued his eleven-day tour of Poland on Sunday.
The Pontiff went on to the Blonie (pronounced Bwohneeyeh) in Krakow to give a Mass, during which he'll canonize 14th century Polish Queen Hedwig.
Earlier he had met Polish Prime Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz.
Huge crowds were gathered for the Pope's arrival at the Blonie.
As usual, he travelled through the flag-waving masses in his trademark Pope-mobile.
One (m) million pilgrims were expected to attend the open-air mass to be held there.
During the celebrations the Pope is to canonise Queen Jadwiga of Poland.
The visit to the city of Krakow is part of an eleven-day tour of his native Poland, and has an important place in the Pope's heart.
It's here that he was educated, ordained as a priest and eventually became a cardinal.
It has been nearly 20 years since Pope left his homeland to become the leader of the world's Catholics.
Earlier on Sunday the Pope met Polish Prime Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz.
The 15 minute meeting took place at the Archbishop's Palace, but no details have been given as to what was discussed.
Later in the day the Pope will attend the 600 year anniversary of Jagiellonian University's theology institute.

John, King of Denmark
John (Danish and Norwegian: Hans; Swedish: Johan; né Johannes) (2 February 1455 – 20 February 1513) was a Scandinavian monarch under the Kalmar Union. He was King of Denmark (1481–1513), Norway (1483–1513) and as John II (Swedish: Johan II) Sweden (1497–1501). From 1482 to 1513, he was concurrently Duke of Schleswig and Holstein in joint rule with his brother Frederick.
The three most important political goals of King John were the restoration of the Kalmar Union, reduction of the dominance of the Hanseatic League, and the building of a strong Danish royal power.
