A, jak by\u0142o naprawd\u0119? Ju\u017c Boles\u0142aw Chrobry w 997 roku kaza\u0142 tu lokowa\u0107 opactwo benedykty\u0144skie. Nie przetrwa\u0142o d\u0142ugo. Istnieje szkic przedstawiaj\u0105cy relikty opactwa benedykty\u0144skiego na rzucie kolegiaty w Tumie. Sama kolegiata pod wezwaniem NMP \u00a0Kr\u00f3lowej i \u015bw. Aleksego powsta\u0142a z inicjatywy Salomei z Bergu wdowy po Boles\u0142awie Krzywoustym. Budowa trwa\u0142a tylko 20 lat! Ju\u017c w 1161 roku ko\u015bci\u00f3\u0142 zosta\u0142 konsekrowany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wchodz\u0119 przez portal p\u00f3\u0142nocny, stawiam stop\u0119 na progu wyszlifowanym setkami lat dziej\u00f3w i zawieruch wojennych. Nad g\u0142ow\u0105 Maryja z Jezusem, by\u0107 mo\u017ce to jedna z pierwszych, lub pierwsza na \u015bwiecie pieta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wzory, symbolika\u2026Czy wszystko jest dla nas zrozumia\u0142e? Wczesne chrze\u015bcija\u0144stwo by\u0142o inne. Ch\u0142\u00f3d wn\u0119trza, pi\u0119tno czasu, ogrom dziej\u00f3w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To wspania\u0142a budowla. Ciekawa inna ni\u017c ko\u015bcio\u0142y, kt\u00f3re widzia\u0142em w Polsce. S\u0105 tu na przyk\u0142ad dwa o\u0142tarze. Z przodu jak zwykle, ale i z tylu nawy g\u0142\u00f3wnej. A, tam mocno ju\u017c sp\u0142owiale, ale oryginale i najstarsze w Polsce malowid\u0142o roma\u0144skie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n S\u0105 jeszcze inne zabytki: p\u0142yta nagrobna, oryginalne deski stropowe, portal okalaj\u0105cy wej\u015bcie do zakrystii, gdzie mo\u017cna zobaczy\u0107 egzotyczne ornamenty ro\u015blinne. Sama bazylika robi wra\u017cenie. Mo\u017cna sobie wyobrazi\u0107 dostojnik\u00f3w zajmuj\u0105cych \u0142awy, biskup\u00f3w, mo\u017cnych, w\u0142adc\u00f3w, rycerstwo. To tu od 1180 roku odbywa\u0142y si\u0119 zjazdy. Co\u015b w rodzaju pierwowzoru sejmik\u00f3w. Tu by\u0142o centrum w\u0142adzy i polsko\u015bci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To ko\u015bci\u00f3\u0142 warowny niejednokrotnie odpiera\u0142 ataki, we wn\u0119trzu jest nawet studnia \u017ceby nie da\u0107 si\u0119 wrogom. Wie\u017ca po\u0142udniowa wysoka na 75 \u0142okci jest oryginalna z XII wieku, p\u00f3\u0142nocna zosta\u0142a uszkadzana podczas bitwy nad Bzur\u0105.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dzieje nie oszcz\u0119dza\u0142y kolegiaty w Tumie. P\u0142on\u0119\u0142a, by\u0142a pl\u0105drowana, a \u00a0nie brakowa\u0142o a jej ruiny zosta\u0142y by po II wojnie \u015bwiatowej rozebrane, ale jest, g\u00f3ruje nad okolic\u0105 swoj\u0105 roma\u0144sk\u0105 bry\u0142\u0105. Warto tam dotrze\u0107 i przesi\u0105kn\u0105\u0107 jej wspania\u0142\u0105 histori\u0105.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can anyone force the devil to build a church? Yes. A beautiful girl with whom Boruta fell in love. She promised to marry him if the devil built her a house. He eagerly set to work according to the local beauty’s plans. He was so infatuated with her that he didn’t realize in time that he was building a church\u2014indeed, a house, a house of God for the local people. Such was the cunning beauty of Tumianka. The devil was furious. He braced himself against the corner of the southern tower and tried to topple the building. He failed. Only the imprint of his big toes remained in the stone. In his anger, he scattered the remaining stones used for the construction across the surrounding fields. Farmers still find them on their lands to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And what was the reality? Boles\u0142aw the Brave ordered the foundation of a Benedictine abbey here in 997. It didn’t last long. There is a sketch depicting the relics of the Benedictine abbey on the floor plan of the collegiate church in Tum. The collegiate church itself, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary Queen and St. Alexius, was founded at the initiative of Salomea of \u200b\u200bBerg, the widow of Boles\u0142aw III Wrymouth. Construction took only 20 years! The church was consecrated in 1161.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I enter through the north portal, setting foot on a threshold polished by hundreds of years of history and warfare. Above my head is Mary with Jesus, perhaps one of the first, or perhaps the first Piet\u00e0 in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The patterns, the symbolism… Does it all make sense to us? Early Christianity was different. The coldness of the interior, the mark of time, the vastness of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a magnificent building. Interestingly, different from the churches I’ve seen in Poland. For example, there are two altars here. At the front, as usual, but also at the back of the main nave. And, there, a heavily faded, but original, Romanesque painting, the oldest in Poland. There are other monuments: a tombstone, original ceiling boards, and a portal framing the entrance to the sacristy, where exotic floral ornaments can be seen. The basilica itself is impressive. One can imagine dignitaries occupying the pews, bishops, nobles, rulers, and knights. It was here that meetings were held from 1180 onwards. A kind of prototype for regional assemblies. This was the center of power and Polishness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This fortified church has often repelled attacks; it even has a well inside to ward off enemies. The 75-cubit-high southern tower is original from the 12th century, while the northern one was damaged during the Battle of the Bzura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n History has not spared the collegiate church in Tum. It burned, was plundered, and many others, and its ruins would have been demolished after World War II, but it remains, towering over the surrounding area with its Romanesque structure. It is worth visiting and soaking in its magnificent history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Czy kto\u015b mo\u017ce zmusi\u0107 diab\u0142a do wybudowania ko\u015bcio\u0142a? Tak.
