Ingrossatio Commissionis expeditae super miraculis imaginis B.M.V. in villa Skrzetusz de verbo ad verbum
Report of the Commission sent to the village of Skrzetusz on the miracles of the statue of B.M.V.

Summary/Abstract: After the creation of the Koszalin-Kolobrzeg (Kołobrzeg) Diocese in 1972, Bishop Ignacy Jeż proclaimed Skrzatusz a diocesan sanctuary. Many years of efforts of the bishop and Salesian custodians led to the solemn coronation of the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows in 1988. On the 25th anniversary of this event, the publication of the Rocznik Skrzatuski began. The editorial board of the magazine set itself the goal of promoting the Marian sanctuary on a larger scale. There are also articles on biblical and Mariological topics. The mainstream, however, is the content related to the sanctuary itself and the uninterrupted cult of Our Lady of Sorrows there. A recently published transcript of the manuscript of Fr. Andrzej Józef Delerdt enabled a wide group of readers to get acquainted with an interesting source from the second half of the 18th century. The presented, so far unknown document reveals the basis for proclaiming Pieta Skrzatuska – as miraculous by the bishops of Poznan (Poznań) in the second half of the 17th century. Commissioners sent by the administrator of the diocese, Fr. Jan Branecki, presented the clerical authority with a document in which they proved that what was happening in Skrzatusz was based on God’s actions. In this article, the author places the document against the background of the region’s situation in the mid-17th century. The next step will be to publish the text of the document in the original language with the entire critical apparatus.
