Monstrance in Lviv Latin Cathedral

Halina Szulakowska #6679 开云体育 Dear All, ? Some of you may remember that over a year ago I emailed a picture of a monstrance. This monstrance was funded by Oboz 1 at Teheran (where my mother's family were) and was supposed to be sent as a gift after the war to the Latin Cathedral in Lviv. It was to be a 'thank you' for the Sibiraki's safe return to the Kresy. However, since they never returned, the whereabouts of the monstrance is still unclear. ? When I went to mass in the Latin Cathedral, I had the chance to speak to Bishop Leon Maly. I showed him the photo of the Monstrance and he confirmed that the object has never been in the Cathedral treasury. He also said that it would have been near-on impossible to get such an object into Ukraine under the post-war Communist regime. ? My mother, as a reporter for the Dziennik Polski, has just sent off an article to the paper about the Monstrance (with photo). So keep your fingers crossed that this digs up some information.... ? Pozdrowienia, Halina
