Ecclesia Militans - Church Militant


An Eucharistic procession during the battle of  Jasna Gora (Luminous Mount), which ended with the miraculously saving of the Jasna Gora monastery during a siege that took place at the time of The Deluge, a 17th century Swedish, heretic invasion on Poland.

Excerpt for the movie 'Potop'.

Potop is a great film, based on "The Deluge" by Henryk Sienkiewicz. Sienkiewicz is perhaps most famous for his novel "Quo vadis" but his novels of Catholic Poland are incredible.
