June 7
Matka Boża Świętorodzinna, Miedniewice, Zyrardów, Masovia, Poland
The icon of the Mother of God of the Holy Family, in a gold relief cover, depicts Joseph, Mary, and Jesus at table, the child in a highchair being fed by his mother. In 1674, Jacob Trojanczyk bought the picture to replace one on his barn. Neighbors saw a glow coming from it morning and evening, and began going there to pray. In 1676, the lord of the place, Nicholas Victorinus Grudzinski, built a small church and moved the picture inside it, together with the post from which it had hung. In 1731 the primate of Poland laid the cornerstone of a new temple. The image was crowned June 7, 1767.
