Churches & monasteries
In Jodłówka, a village in the commune of Pruchnik in the Jarosław county, on St Mary's Hill, amid fields and stately trees, stands the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Consolation. The village lies 4 km from Pruchnik, on the western outskirts of the commune, stretching along the valley of the Jodłówka stream on the first hills of the Dynów Foothills. The solitary church on the hill sets the religious rhythm of the whole area.
The present neo-Gothic church dates from the years 1864–71. In the main altar it holds a painting of Our Lady of Consolation famed for graces, probably originating from the 17th century. Nearby also stand an 18th-century little church and a wayside chapel above a spring, which holds a well with water known for its healing power — one of the elements that have drawn pilgrims from Subcarpathia here for decades.
The adjacent cemetery holds, among others, the graves of people executed by the Nazis, which makes the place also a historical memorial. A visit to the sanctuary is best combined with a visit to Pruchnik and a walk over the hills of the Dynów Foothills, and the local roads lead straight up to the hill.
