This article presents the events preceding the first arrest of Father Stanisław Maciątek in 1939 and subsequent arrest. The ceremony of introducing to Wiżajny a copy of the image of Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn is described in detail which, as one might think, influenced the further course of events. An attempt was made to gather knowledge about the immediate perpetrators of the arrests and their connections to the German diversionary and spy network. It shows how their subsequent fate followed after 2nd world war.
