Lublin, Warsaw, and a day for JPII...

...and in unusually warm sunshine. We are filming a new feature for EWTN, exploring St John Paul's legacy in Poland. Lublin is a glorious city, with a castle and lots of royal history. The Catholic University - once the only such place of learning in the whole of the atheist bloc that stretched from Berlin to Beijing - is now named for John Paul II and is set in attractive buildings, with a courtyard of green lawns and a superb statue of  that moment when  Cardinal Wyzinski knelt to honour JPII and the latter raised him up...

Today is a special (annual) day honouring JPII and there will be a great Mass in Warsaw...and we also plan to film in the great Square where JP gave that unforgettable sermon back in 1979 and changed history...
