In the Manuscripts Department of the Library of the University of Wrocław, there are hidden treasures that take us back in time to an era when art was a narrative and every image had a story. We invite you on a fascinating journey through medieval miniatures, where Paschal symbolism flourished in the fullness of its artistic and cultural complexity. The Paschal Triduum is the most important event in the liturgical calendar of Christians.

The spring sun awakens nature. It shines upon us with its warmth. Let it rekindle mutual kindness and love, bring hope and peace to our hearts.
