About this work

You see a black-and-white photo of a crowd outside a church. People stand in neat lines holding candles. Some wear coats with hoods. The church has two towers. This shot was taken in 1986 by an unknown photographer. It shows religious devotion during Poland’s communist era. The church, Our Lady of Częstochowa, is famous for its dark icon of Mary.
