The tradition of visiting the Seven Churches was already known in the Middle Ages in Rome. In the 16th century, the form of such pilgrimage was revived in the Eternal City thanks to Saint. Philip Nereus. Other saints practiced it, such as the Piarist founder, Saint. Józef Kalasancjusz.
We would like to offer it to the residents, pilgrims and tourists of Krakow. The idea of visiting seven churches in the Old Town around Kraków's Planty Park contains elements of tourist wandering, aesthetic sightseeing and spiritual pilgrimage. Therefore, it combines a physical, cultural and religious dimension.
The leitmotif is a reference to the spiritual tradition of a given church, contained not only in architecture, but also in the history and charisms of individual orders. In biblical symbolism, the number 7 describes the fullness and perfection, so those wandering along the trail of the Spirit Seven will gain knowledge of the cultural and spiritual richness of these places and will be able to get something for their own piety.
