It has the depiction of Our Lady of Czestochowa (Black Madonna) carrying a Child on the front and Pope John Paul II at the back. It comes with an 18 Thin Box Chain. The Black Madonna is credited with miraculously saving the monastery of Jasna Góra (Bright Mount) from a 17th century Swedish invasion (The Deluge), which actually changed the course of the war. This event led King Jan Kazimierz to crown Our Lady of Cz?stochowa (the Black Madonna) as Queen and Protector of Poland in the cathedral of Lwów on April 1, 1656. John Paul II had a special relationship with Catholic youth and is known by some as The Pope for Youth. Before he was pontiff, he used to camp and mountain hike with the youth. He still went mountain hiking when he was pope. He was particularly concerned with the education of future priests, and made many early visits to Roman seminaries.
