Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statue of Władysław III as Saint Valentine, one of five statues above the 'Gethsemane Shrine' at the Eastern wall of the Church at the site of the Parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdów - shrine of our Lady of Gdów. The 'Gethsemane Shrine' was dedicated on 8 September 1864 and was among a number of ks Ludwik Kusionowicz's enhancements of the Church which apparently holds relics of Saint Valentine.

The Church ("Kościół") of Gdów is on a site located close to where the historic Battle of Gdów took place in 1846 and in which Polish 'insurgents', under the command of the absent Colonel Suchorzewski, fought for independence from Austria in the only battle of the Kraków Uprising. Ludwik Kusionowicz, the parish priest in Gdów from 1842 and who later became Dean of Wieliczka, chronicled the Battle of Gdów and also provided refuge in the Church for supporters of the Polish nationalists who were fleeing the Austrian military and their peasant militia.

Ludwik’s "nephew" Sylwester was at that time living in Chochołow and training as a teacher and organist under Jan Kanty Andrusikiewicz (pl) who was one of the leaders of the Chochołow Uprising (pl) which took place on 21 February 1846, five days before the Battle of Gdów. Around 1850 Sylwester moved to Gdów to run the first 'state school' in the district (in the former parish school building) and in spite of the efforts of the Austrian authorities to suppress Polish culture in Galicia it continued classes in the Polish language beyond the period of the January Uprising (1863-1864) which extended across the lands controlled by the Russian Empire to the outskirts of Kraków. Sylwester Kusionowicz, who was father to a number of children, including Władysław and Andrzej who were born in Gdów, was also the organist at the Church and around 1860 moved into the old church house.
The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland.
