  • Prompt: with a little help of Bernard Buffet It describes how in the 17th century (we do not know when exactly) a nobleman, a village head from the village of Szulec near Opatówek, Stobienia, came to the Collegiate Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kalisz and brought a votive offering in the form of a painting, which is now famous as a miraculous one. Giving it to the parish priest, he told him that he was seriously ill (probably paralyzed), lay in bed for weeks, felt terrible himself, and what's more, he didn't want to be a burden to his family, because the doctors' prognosis wasn't good. One night he prayed to God to take him from this world or restore him to health. And he fell asleep. He dreamed of Saint. Joseph. He said he would heal him, but asked Stobienia to paint a picture that would look like he described, and then give it to the collegiate church in Kalisz. Stobienia did it. He recovered and took the painting to Kalisz. His descendants still live in the village of Szulec. Of course, then St. Peter's Square Józefa did not exist yet, BUT the area that was to become it already existed.
