Summary/Abstract: In the last quarter of the 17th century Poland had the ambition to become a bastion of Catholicism in the wider region of Central Europe. This was also reflectedintheeastofpresent-day Slovakia, where a represerved many relics of Polish origin in centres spreading Catholicism, especially images of Our Lady of Czestochowa (17th-19th century), which brought the monks to support the strengthening recatholisation. At the end of 17th century some churches consecrated not local, but the Polish bishops. In some places no-Catholics called catholic faith as Polish faith. In the 18th century there was a significant decline of Slovak-Polish relations, although vested in the liturgical calendar of the Kosice diocese(1826) these relations are still indirectly expressed.
