Summary/Abstract: The question of the relationship between the Mother of God and the Eucharist resulted in theologyʼs development of Maryʼs title – Woman of the Eucharist. The development of this title was made possible by the achievementsof Mariology and Sacramentology, and its rooting in the consciousness of thefaithful was fostered by liturgy and popular piety. Thus, both clergy and laity,in whose spirituality the Eucharist and Mary occupy a privileged place, wereable to reflect on the mystery of the relationship between them. In the history of the Church in Poland, too, there have been many outstanding figures who, through their writings and teaching, have contributed to Mary being called theWoman of the Eucharist and have shown the resulting spiritual richness from which members of the Church can still draw today.
