User:DanielWikipediaPojda/Branica (Suszec)

Branica - sulcus on the border of Suszec in Silesia in Poland. I include the aforementioned street and surrounding houses. Once a colony. The population reaches 50 inhabitants. It runs alongside the provincial road 935.

Look

Branica is different from other streets in Suszec. It is small and distant from the center. However, her looks delight.

The look of the Branica from the forest

The road is being renovated from time to time, but it is not perfect. There are remnants of the renovation.

Entrance

The entrance was changed many times. At the beginning it was divided by an advertising pole.

Later it was connected (entrance) and the pole was thrown on the shoulder.

"Maryjka" from Branica

The figure depicts the Virgin Mary with Child, which is located in a dense forest in Branica, on the Suszec - Kobiór road. The statue exists from the 1800s (1807) Carved from sandstone. Maryjka from Branica is often visited and is taken care of by the inhabitants of Branica and its surroundings. From time to time it is decorated with flowers. Several years ago the figure was renewed with the surroundings of the Upper Silesian Association of the Upper Silesian Association, the help of the Forest Inspectorate and the local government. A canopy was mounted on two columns. Around the foundation is lined granite cobblestone, and further up to the road laid sidewalk from the oak blocks. At the figure are two benches, left and right. There is also a plaque written by Marian Ciesla speaking about events 200 years ago. Every year on May 3rd and 15th, there are devotions with priests and faithful from Suszec, Kobiór, Zgoń and other localities. Why did Maryjka stand in the forest at the Branica? The story is about Johan Lukas - a forester in the forest in Pszczyna, which figurine set. One day he found himself in the woods far from the buildings, when a huge storm was raging. Thick trees broke like a match. Once he had lost the hope of surviving the maddening orc, he remembered praying to the Mother of Jesus in his home, by a son who, like his mother, professed Catholicism (he himself was a Protestant). With a prayer on his lips he survived until morning, and when the storm ceased, he came out from under the trees that formed over him like a hut. He returned home and heard that his wife and son all night prayed for him. From then on their confession was not a problem for theforesters. It was then that Johan decided to build a monument to Mary, who stood at the Branica in November 1807.
