A dead straight three-kilometre-long boulevard, al. Najswietszej Marii Panny (usually abbreviated as NMP), cuts through the heart of Czestochowa, terminating at the foot of Jasna Gora . On most days, ascending the hill is no different from taking a walk in any other public park, but the huge podium for open-air Masses gives a clue to the atmosphere here on the major Marian festivals - May 3, August 15, August 26, September 8 and December 8 - when up to a million pilgrims converge, often in colourful traditional dress. Many come on foot, and every year, tens of thousands make the nine-day walk from Warsaw to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption.
