Polish Countryside on the way to Warsaw: Jasna Gora near Czestochowa, the monastery which withstood the repeated onslaught of overwhelming Swedish forces during the religious wars of the 17th century. Since then its Black Madonna is venerated as the Queen of Poland and has become the country's national symbol. Poland is 90 percent Roman Catholic.
