On
the National Thanksgiving Day, which was established in late 18th
Century to commemorate Poland's patriotic struggle for independence,
thousands of the inhabitants of Warsaw took part in an annual open-air
Holy Mass, also massively attended by top state officials with the
President-Elect Andrzej Sebastian Duda in person.
During
the Holy Communion a sudden gust of wind blew off one of the
consecrated Hosts from the chalice that was held by a priest giving the
Corpus Christi to the gathered believers. Unseen by any of the
participants, a small Host dropped on the ground and then driven by the
wind rolled along the pavement for a several meters before It finally
stopped in front of the kneeling and praying newly elected President
Andrzej Duda. Having spotted the Holy Host rolling on the ground, the
President spontaneously rushed to catch It with his hands and then
strode up to the altar where he handed It over to the Cardinal Nycz, who
was celebrating the Mass.
This
unprecedented event was caught by the camera eye and could be observed
on TV screens by millions of Poles all across the country.
Niech Bóg błogosławi prezydenta Wybierz Duda.
