According to legend, Our Lady of Częstochowa saved the Monastery as follows: during the Deluge, the Monastary was entered and sacked. A Swedish officer in the chapel drew his sword and struck twice at the picture, scoring two deep scars in the Madonna's right cheek. Then, depending on the legend, he reached out to touch the painting and found that the gashes had been converted to PAINTED gashes, and had a conversion on the spot, and told his troops to leave the monastery alone. The other legend says that after the second strike he dropped dead and, when it was discovered that the slashes had been transmuted to paint, the sacking of the monastery was halted.
This article needs a major expansion. Right now it mentions some minor details from 1760 but doesn't contain a single word about such pivotal events as the Lubomirski's Rokosz or the Bar Confederation
how is it in the end: bright mount or bright hill? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.0.96.15 (talk) 17:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
