Part of the altar in front of the Palace of Culture and Science marking John Paul II’s third pilgrimage to Poland

Hartwig, Edward

14th of June 1987

This view east from the Parade Square most likely shows part of the altar in front of the Palace of Culture and Science marking John Paul II’s third pilgrimage to Poland. In the foreground two passersby, in the background part of the altar decoration.
John Paul II led a holy mass in the Parade Square on June 14th, 1987, to mark the end of the third pilgrimage to his homeland. The altar itself was shaped like a giant organ (tinfoil-covered scaffoldings) with a cross in the middle.
