Summary/Abstract: The Marian sanctuary in Święta Lipka, in the Masurian Lakeland macroregion, is one of the most famous sacred places in Poland. Pilgrims from Poland and from abroad have been coming here since the Middle Ages. People pray to Our Lady of the miraculous painting. They also listen to music that is played on a baroque pipe organ. In 2018, the sanctuary celebrated important jubilees: the 400th anniversary of the protection of the Polish king Sigismund III Waza over the sanctuary; the 125th anniversary of the music school graduation of the composer Feliks Nowowiejski; the 50th anniversary of the crowning of the image of Our Lady by the Polish Primate, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński and the Archbishop of Kraków, Cardinal Karol Wojtyła. The festive jubilee gave the opportunity to summarize scientific research on the church and monastery of the Jesuits. The author of the bibliography presents what we already know about the sanctuary, and also suggests research areas that have not yet been analyzed by historians.
