Religious observances of the Holy Cross in Poland

Overview

Religious observances and celebrations regarding the Holy Cross took place across Poland in mid-September 2026.

In Warsaw, the Holy Cross Basilica marked its 400th parish anniversary with a Mass led by Archbishop Galbas, which included the consecration of the St. Michael the Archangel bell. Concurrently, the parish of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross held a feast day led by Archbishop Wacław Depo, who noted the presence of confirmed first-class relics of the Holy Cross.

In Racibórz, the St. Thomas Becket Chapel at Piast Castle hosted events for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. The gathering included prayer and the adoration of relics. Historical records cited during the event indicate that relics, including thorns from the crown of Jesus Christ, have been associated with the castle since the late 13th century.
