Sursum corda. Historia krzyża jubileuszowego na Giewoncie
Nabywaniec, Stanisław; Rut, Tomasz (Instytut Teologiczno-Pastoralny im. św. bpa Józefa Sebastiana Pelczara w Rzeszowie, 2014)
The tradition of placing crosses in the region of Podhale is long and dates back to the late eighteenth century. Choosing Mount Giewont as the place of the Jubilee Cross was an obvious decision, given that its summit was very popular and well-known. This cross was placed at the top of Giewont on 8th of July 1901, and was consecrated on 19 August 1901 by Fr. Władysław Bandurski, the chancellor of the curia of Kraków. He also delivered a fi ery sermon. The initiator and coordinator of elevating the Jubilee Cross on Giewont was the parish priest of Zakopane Fr. Kazimierz Kaszelewski. John Paul II, during his visit to Zakopane in 1997, made a reference to the cross on Giewont. Since 1997 the image of the cross on Giewont appears on the coat of arms of Zakopane. The then secretary of Pope John Paul II, Stanislaw Dziwisz, currently Cardinal and Archbishop of Krakow, has also inserted the image of the cross on his coat of arms.
