Kaplica Bożego Grobu, Przeworsk
Facts and practical information
Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre in Przeworsk - a chapel at the collegiate basilica in Przeworsk, which contains a permanent altar that is a faithful replica of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
The chapel was added to the basilica in 1692. It has a distinct baroque decoration. The entrance leads through a richly decorated doorway of black marble with a wrought iron door. The central part of the interior is the Holy Sepulcher made in 1712. A stone from the Jerusalem original was built into its wall as a relic. The walls are decorated with neoclassical paintings from around 1845 with fragments of an old polychrome. On the side walls are altars from the 18th century: "Laying in the Tomb" and "Women and Disciples at the Empty Tomb".
The existence of the chapel is connected with the Order of Canons Regular of the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre of Christ, called the Holy Sepulchre or Miechowites, who arrived in Przeworsk in 1394, serving in the parish until 1846. Today the church together with the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre is a sanctuary and a tourist attraction.
In 2007 the object took the 5th place in the poll of the newspaper "Nowiny" for 7 wonders of Podkarpacie.
