Empress Helena’s Treasures Make Their Grand Arrival in Romania: A Celebration at the Patriarchal Cathedral - Afric Info

  • Father Maximilian Kolbe volunteered to die in place of another prisoner during Nazi captivity in World War II after Poland's 1939 invasion.
  • This event occurred after Nazi guards ordered ten men to starve in a dark bunker as punishment, and Kolbe stepped forward to take one man's place.
  • Kolbe and nine others endured ten days of starvation in a cold, unheated bunker before Kolbe was injected with carbolic acid, resulting in a slow death.
  • Following Kolbe’s death, the Vatican acknowledged several miraculous healings, including recoveries from tuberculosis and arterial calcification, which played a crucial role in his sainthood being officially declared in 1982.
  • Kolbe's sacrifice and associated miracles have continued to inspire devotion and illustrate Catholic claims of ongoing divine intervention through saints' intercession.
