St. Mark's Day indulgence
Our church in Rzochów has the patron saint of St. Mark. For many years we have celebrated an indulgence on the memorial of the author of the oldest Gospel.
According to the calendar, St Mark is remembered on 25 April. In our region, a collective circumambulation of the fields was practised on this day. A procession with a cross at the front went from the parish church to all the crosses and border shrines. Fields were then consecrated and prayers were offered, asking God, who "gives food to his creatures at the right time and opens his hand" - for fertility and favourable weather.
The feast of the patron saint of the Rzochów church will be celebrated on Sunday 27 April. We invite you to celebrate with us!
